Poetry Series – We Don’t Call It Slavery

I remember a time in my life where my dad would get really hostile as white people were actively supporting and speaking on correcting the still existing racism in our country and the presence of white privilege. I spent a long time confused.  I was so puzzled that some one would still be so blindContinue reading “Poetry Series – We Don’t Call It Slavery”

Poetry Series – Abstinence

The world is (unhinged) right now. I am taking deep breaths, trying to ground myself in a reality worthy of staying in. I am mindful of what is crossing the threshold of my boundaries. Listening within the quiet, I recognize – I’ve been hiding. As I re-emerge and reenter my own body, I settle onContinue reading “Poetry Series – Abstinence”

Poetry Series – Performative

Do you want to know the shameful truth? Of course you do, we love knowing we’re not alone in our monstrous beliefs and habits! The truth is, I feel most alive on stage. I love the attention and the physical proof that I am good at something. I walk away, shaking. Every cell in myContinue reading “Poetry Series – Performative”

Poetry Series – Defeaning Silence

It takes energy… I’m tired. DEFEANING SILENCE Before the moment where all goes quiet, there’s a last:LoudCryScreamGaspSob Prayer. Now, all that’s left to dois wait for an answer. Much love, until next time.

Poetry Series – Collapse

I’m not sure this is what I pictured when they said “London Bridge is falling down”.  Something told me bridges didn’t truly collapse.  That they are strong enough, sturdy enough, always well maintained points of connection. I didn’t think we’d drop out of touch, just like that – falling arms.  Maybe I didn’t think aheadContinue reading “Poetry Series – Collapse”

Poetry Series – Collection of Consistency

I’ve been spotty here for a minute as my focus has been falling on other goals and platforms.  This year I’m determined to grow more consistent about my consistency.  With that, I’ve commited to myself that I will write daily, whatever that looks like.  To see my daily writings pulled from the inspiration of lifeContinue reading “Poetry Series – Collection of Consistency”

Poetry Series – Power Plays

I see you through that put on shit but I know it’s not my business so I don’t mind it.. But I assumed you’re blinded so I’ll point to it, sit back patiently, wait for you to find it..  And if you don’t.. well.. who gives a shit. Not this bitch. 🤷‍♀️✌️ POWER PLAYS IfContinue reading “Poetry Series – Power Plays”

Poetry Series – Personal Exploration

What’s in a name? I wonder as I attempt to accurately title this poem.  Think of the meanings behind them, question their truths.  Do you take on the traits of a name, or does it mold to you? Personal Exploration Mania tinged mo(u)rningsAs I struggle to let goOf everything but your ghostPost to ante, meridiemContinue reading “Poetry Series – Personal Exploration”

Poetry Series – Diamond Miner

I am profoundly in love with life again and I suppose I have no one to blame but myself.  I’m not sure I ever could have said that before – personal limitations, not circumstance.  Drawn in, I feel connected. Rooted, I reach to otherS, continually scanning and comminicating need. Diamond Miner They call us diamondContinue reading “Poetry Series – Diamond Miner”
