Beating hearts
His heart beats just as strong as mine; just long as mine for the same purpose just different rhymes this time; and with that im fine cause theres nothing better than my help being there to redfine in time with a mind thats just as strong as mine. Right now I'm blinded by the light that his spirit radiates everytime hes in my presence. Benevolent, its evident that this isnt just a chance meeting...
But every greeting feels like a first time; the small of my back, the palm of his hand perfectly fitting over aches; this cant be a mistake because im cradled

Feeling
Although there are no hands to present the sensation she feels; its something deep; colors attatched to the synapses of each cluster of nerve that enable this touch to inadvertently exist; remissed to not include the notes that keep her in tune with the vibrations of this rotating axis; but all she knows is that she wants to max this... Out; the feeling of not knowing how deep this could go or which direction she's falling but accepting that shes willing to go head first. Evolving into a being that can fly high above all things weighted by gravity; where sweet teeth dont produce cavities but endurance to overstand this undertaking; making something out of nothing; feeding souls and not just fucking; where only a will leads to a way... Out; self doubt has not existed because we have not fed it; only led it to believe that out of the fire it can rise; disguises lead to demise because a covered mouth is the reply. And she's learning not to rely on... Anyone who's not willing to put her first; but his touch... A gift and a curse cause all things that he'd done to her he had no time to rehearse but she's spellbound

Ms. Understood
How often is it that you come across people who seem to have it all together but when you sart talking to them its like, waaaait what the heck just happened to the person that I said hello to?! the only reason that out responses are like that is because we instantly, upon interaction develop expectations. When those people dont meet our expectations there is something in us that automatically throws up a yield sign, "woah woah; youre definitely not who i thought you were." but how can we think that a person was or wasnt "something" when we are just meeting and learning them. Just like when we are learning in the classroom, we may learn this lesson one day but in order to completely understand the concept there will be a number of lessons to follow the initial one; hmmm this applies to all things in life. What are you thinking?
Now i am guilty of those things that i just mentioned which is the only way that I recognize it as i have; hence the reason so many of us are misunderstood. We want to judge whats there because we dont understand it and our standard is only to our own capacity, totally disregarding other individuals circumstances and backgrounds. How to change this thought process, that is the question that I ponder.
Well what i am planning to do is activate my conscience more instead of letting the subconscience kick into auto pilot. This way i can defeat the thought process and eventually it will become a habit for me to gather more information and not conclude anything because i am not one to judge or be judged.
Sooo what it there to understand?! hmmm maybe overstand a situation but a humanoid...we are walking conundrums and we have to overstand that we are not to be understood. Despite what scientists and psychologists say, we are not to be figured out and when we get that much we can focus on things that are more important. Like sustaining life and embracing everything and everyone as we are not trying to change it to fit a standard.
Which way is up?! and where does your balance come from?!

Eternal Sunshine...Spotless Mind
Dear Man who holds the key to my heart,
its seems at times that you don't know how special you are to me. When I tell you its seems that you dismiss my hearts affections for some worldly thing that you desire. If its not that then its someone that you know in your heart of hearts will never have the same connection that you and I have. As a matter of fact you choose versions of me portrayed in various hues that are very close but will never be able to compare to me and what I do, who I am and all that I stand for. I guess I need to stand more to understand that I don't owe you anything although I have given you everything before you even attempted to give me a wedding ring. My heart cried out for you twice and you looked at it like it was speaking another language. But this language of love is to be understood by all people who deserve it...you know those people who are worth it. Inadvertently I am telling myself much that I do not desire to hear, read or give my attention to... and it seems when anyone mentions you my heart and mind become subdued; weak as I relinquish my rights to all that I own which makes me a higher me because I desire to be someone who makes your world turn and make you yearn to be high with me; inside of me...
But I digress, I would like for you to know that Ive always given you my best. But my best seems to be too much for you and you would rather settle for less. I cant change your mind but I do wish that I could change the times and allow your eyes to be mine and your heart to do the time so you can see just how blind love can make you. How even when the answers are right in front of your face, you look everywhere else for them...(LESSON IN LIFE: you don't get credit for partially answered questions)
I cant change your heart but I can change my mind and redefine what I felt could have been special for both of us as a simple love letter fathomed in my brain. I fall back from all that I loved about you; I'll stop comparing everyone I meet to you because maybe someone better with eyes and a heart that are more clever will approach me and not want to let me go like you have done...
But before I become bitter I'll go back to day one...I'll just say hello and let that be done...
I'll keep walking I promise and theres no looking back, no eye contact so I wont have time to react. I'm sure you'll be happy with the choice that you've made to avoid a conversation with someone who would have gave, you everything in her power under the sun; simply to be considered your number one.

Letter to my Exes
Dear Exes,
I want you to know that it is partially your fault for me having this skewed range of feelings that go from insecurities to falsified emotions. Yes, falsified because it is so hard for me to open up now and be completely honest to any man that I meet, even those that I am actually interested in. How did you ruin it you may ask...well here you go:
1. You started breaking my heart in the 6th grade when you were overly sexually active and I was not interested in sex or any acts that would lead up to it.
2. You lied so much because you thought that it would make me love you more. And in the beginning that came to be the case but then, I strongly disliked you because evidently you thought that I was going to follow your lies forever and the truth not catch up to you. And this is why you are forever featured in the shit hills of my mind.
3. Because you didn't have enough faith in yourself to stray away from the piss poor examples of good men that you had in your life and actually pay attention to the men that actually helped you become half decent enough for me to even entertain your presence and interest in me.
4. When I did become sexually active I valued it a lot more than you did and when I didn't want to do all of the things that you were suggesting you left me even though I was/am a woman of quality and value.
5. You deemed it okay to make me fall in love with you then leave me high and dry for a Gutter Butt Trollop (GBT) that was whack and slack from front to back. Where I had/have intellect, intuitiveness, ingenuity and am beautiful all the way around.
6. You made me feel like something was wrong with me when you would come chill and cuddle but wouldn't make me your lady because there were too many fish in the sea (the fast ones with STDs) and you can keep them now.
7. You would tell me all of the things that you thought that I wanted to hear but they would be after you already lost....
Wait... I'm writing this list to tell you all of the things that you did wrong but what about me...
1. I didn't put ME first
2. I didn't value my uniqueness and womanhood as much as I valued having a man on my arm who I complimented more than him doing so for me.
3. I was focused on the wrong things...
4. I settled for less than I deserved
5. I was quick to give in to what wasn't right because I wanted to feel like the rest of my "friends" felt when in actuality they weren't happy either just putting on a show for everyone. No one was paying attention...
6. I allowed me to lose myself in you instead of myself. Its okay to lose oneself in themselves because nine times out of ten that self love is the best thing that you are ever going to encounter.
7. I didn't make you respect me like you should have...
8. I placed some things on hold in my life that should have been placed at the forefront, in front of you and all other things material and of this world
9. I blamed everyone else for my hurt and insecurities
10. I didn't want to face the reality of the situation because I knew that I would be alone and knew that it was not how I wanted things to be.
So exes, I want to tell you now that I forgive you for breaking my heart. But I will never be able to forget the things that I experienced while I was with you and during those weeks where we were breaking up. I'm doing better than I was when I was with you and am currently in the process of healing. Don't try to come back with your games because one will be run on you just so you know what it feels like to have high hopes and be left in the dust.
Keep your distance.
Star Crossed Love,
Nikki

Today is a random one...
I think that sometimes life deals you blows just to see how you would deal with it. Initially at the end of that first sentence I subconsciously said, "me"; I wonder what that means. Right now I am sitting here in the comforts of my apartment wishing that it was cooler outside. Later on I think that I am going to head out to a beach and walk. Im just baffled at how much I want to be out in nature lately. I dont know what thats about but I am going to embrace it full force as long as I have peace. Thats all that Ive been wanting lately. I cant say that Ive had it although I have been making an effort to get to that point.
Meditation is what used to get me there. I know last summer when I was still adjusting to how I wanted my apartment to be arranged, I was at peace when I was at work and even moreso when I came home as I had a half a splif and laid back, cleared my mind focusing solely on my breathing. I would wake up 30 minutes to an hour later feeling quite refreshed. I dont know what it is now that is keeping me from having that. Whatever the case I know that I can not revert back to that discomfort that I had back in October.
I have been writing more poetry and I am anxious about this book of mine. I am thinking about self publishing I just don't know if I am ready for all of the work that is going to come along with it. But we will see, I have to do more research. I want my first published book to be one if the best to hit any bookstore or library shelf. I want to be acclaimed like my Soror Nikki Giovanni or like Ms. Maya Angelou and I will be. So far in my life when I say that I want to get something done I do, for all that its worth to me. And yes I am always looking for a bargain as I inch my wait to the point of success.
And now I have to leave this blog of random thoughts so that I can attend to my work that was just emailed to me. You know sometimes, its not the work that you do that makes you lose your passion is the superiors who have supposedly been in your position before. Nine times out of ten just like celebrities from the hood, when they make it to a point of success, they forget about their struggle to get there and the giants shoulders that they stood on to get there. It is however my goal to never forget.
