#TheIronies

I don’t know why we feel the need to set goals or reflect on the past specifically on our birthdays/beginning of the year etc… I usually don’t wait for these milestones but today I felt the urge to let it out – at least let out a little bit of it, right here. Another yearContinue reading “#TheIronies”

#ThatNight

#ThatNight we wined so tight, the scent of your cologne mixed with mine. I drank your champagne tasting lips till inebriation, that state where inhibitions are dreams and Love forever stands. #ThatNight you indubitably got my full attention and reaped all the affection such passions engender. #ThatNight plausibly occurred because I asked *She* for Ecstasy.Continue reading “#ThatNight”

#Crush

I don’t know you like that, and it might be better that way… I can’t recall the sound of your voice from our last brief encounter – cause we barely spoke to each other, or looked at one another, but – I imagine it sweet – and soft – and warm – just likeContinue reading “#Crush”

#OnLoveAndLustAndEverythingInBetween – part4

There is something very humbling about being rejected by someone whom you really like. Humbling because after the initial shock, it forces you to think about the reasons why it hurts so much. Humbling because if forces you to decide whether you will allow this pain to morph into compassion or anger – towards yourselfContinue reading “#OnLoveAndLustAndEverythingInBetween – part4”

#TheBuzz

Drafted Friday while watching Brandee Younger (Harp), Dezron Douglas (Bass) & David Bryant (piano) playing at #TheWestVillageSeries’ @ Cheikh’s. Edited at 3am Saturday morning, up from drinking so much Champagne. I tip the glass to my lips, Allow the champagne to burn my tongue, Then, flow down my throat Liquid gold – I’m gone. I closeContinue reading “#TheBuzz”

#iSurrender

#iSurrender. To the Water, The Wind and the Sun. The Water. I drown deep and let my fears roll down my face. I exhale to the surface to catch my breath, inhale and drown time and time, ’til I can be myself again… #iSurrender. To the Water, The Wind and the Sun. The Wind. InfiltratesContinue reading “#iSurrender”

#LetIt

I accumulate love bits around me and I #LetIt grow, grow, grow. And l will #LetIt burst if you touch my heart and #LetIt flow, flow, flow. I’ll share it all, with you, naked, no games. I’ll give it all to you. Straight up, no lies. I’ll empty my bliss, so you can feel itContinue reading “#LetIt”

#AtTime

#AtTime, there is a definite disconnect between the person I know I am, and the way I feel about myself. Let me reiterate: I get insecure. #AtTime. But I am not completely sure why. Pragmatically, I have nothing to complain about, I guess… Of course there will always be a Better-Looking-Smarter-Tighter-Booty-More-Accomplished-Talented-Perfect-Skin-Perfect-Teeth-Perfect-Fro-Perfect-Diet-Goes-To-The-Gym-On-A-Regular-Basis-Drinks-One-Gallon-Of-Water-A-Day-Has-That-Flawless-Fashion-Sense-Eloquent-Just-Got-Her-PHD-Chick, ya know… you feelContinue reading “#AtTime”

#AboutStraightForwardness

I left room for warmth. Your Warmth. But you took too long to say what you meant, beat around the bush like a wild man, so randomness settled in… and settled down. Back to square one. The spot, (cozy, I might add), is taken for now and you will have to entertain… entertain my soul,Continue reading “#AboutStraightForwardness”

#LifeBitsFallingIntoPlace

Isn’t it interesting how life can change so drastically in the space of a few months? How one year you are planning for future tense with someone and the next year you are just here, starting *fresh* cause there is literally nothing left but old pictures and fading memories. You wonder what’s next cause youContinue reading “#LifeBitsFallingIntoPlace”

#OnLustAndLoveAndEverythingInBetween (part3)

In logic and probability theory, two propositions (or events) are mutually exclusive or disjoint if they cannot both be true (occur). Shall we treat Lust and Love as two distinct functions evolving in two separate systems? How both those states relate to Happiness? It sounds concurrently simple and complicated, hence the trickiness. In a nutshell,Continue reading “#OnLustAndLoveAndEverythingInBetween (part3)”

#InLimbo

The way you talked to me makes it hard. It makes it hard to get involved with someone. What used to be easy became complicated. You declared you did not expect a thing, but would give me the world… #IfILetYou. You affirmed someone will always love me. #Unconditionally. That it’s written all over me. YouContinue reading “#InLimbo”

#IfUAskMeTo

I’m oversharing ‘cause, In reality who knows if We’ll ever meet again? From Now on Anything can happen… Your next move is inconsequential For what matters is mine Your next move is relevant Only if it includes my heart Handled with dignity Care for reciprocity I’m over sharing ‘cause In reality who knows if We’ll ever speak again?Continue reading “#IfUAskMeTo”

#FirstBase

Soft and Sweet. I reminisce the Brightness of the morning. I reminisce the Taste of drunk kisses. I reminisce the Thrill of sleepless nights. I reminisce the Strength of my desire.

#TheMessenger

“The Universe does not make any mistakes; She has been doing this ish* for a while now and it does not matter what you think you really want; I know you really, really want it, and it seems like this is IT – but you are confused; what you want is irrelevant because as theContinue reading “#TheMessenger”

#AutoCensorship

I want to write but I can’t right now. Too many curious eyes, too many thirsty ears… I can’t tell the world what I think about or dream at night, for it is too personal and probably… No, never mind. I want to elaborate about that thrill, about those fears, about what makes me shiverContinue reading “#AutoCensorship”

#ADayInALife

It’s amazing the difference one day can make: You wake up feeling horrible, you lay down at night peaceful and collected. I’m so drastic and so impatient and so easily overwhelmed. Cause that’s who I am. Eventually, things swiftly slide into place as soon as I get into the right groove and feel comfortable; thingsContinue reading “#ADayInALife”
