Sense Of A Woman *Poem*



You led me to believe
You were all about us
The lies I received
Sown seeds of foolish trust
You were sure to twist your words
Into melodic tones heard
Shame on  my foolish ears
And when I told you I was entranced by your sound
…You didn’t even care
You were love’s pied piper
The musical viper
You blew smoke up my ass
never even knew I was in a cypher
Puff, puff pass
Rotating your women fast
When you get lonely
Then someone’s your only
Because the high didn’t last
Go get your smoke on
Your morally broke on
I hope you choke on the same smoke
That you encouraged me to toke on
I hope that she gets a whiff of me
The isolated memory
Of a woman that was doing
More than your heavy lidded eyes
 had the sense to see
I hope she sees the truth in you
The backward little things you do
I hope she gets a taste
of what you ate
When you licked love off of my dinner plate
I hope she smells the hell that you’re going to bring
I hope hears the lie when you try to say
she’s your everything
I’m done with your drug, I don’t want anymore
It’s a cheap high,
not worth the try
that left me feeling sore
take your song and your stash
and walk out the door
no sight, sound, speech, scent or taste
no me
anymore.

Sign Of The Times: Case of The Serial Texter

I was lying in bed when I heard the familiar chime of an incoming text. Opening one eye, I opened the message to see two letters: GM. Still, in the stupor that slumber often puts you in, I scanned my brain to register the meaning...ah yes...Good Morning. I clumsily keyed in "Hey" and hit the send button. I kept my face deep in my pillow listening for another chime. Nothing. I switched my phone into silent mode and caught another hour of sleep before waking up again. This is a typical day in the life of a serial texter. I text a lot. I text because it's free (on my cell plan). I text because it's convenient. I text because it's a great way to have a conversation without actually having a conversation. But what happens when you actually WANT to speak to the other person with whom you are texting? How do you break the pattern? After months of texting, a phone call may prove to be awkward and break the momentum you built through texting! This has happened

A Love Story

Sometimes he looked at me the way I had always wanted to be looked at. His eyes would fill with a wonder as if I was a beautiful creature he never knew existed. I would often pretend I didn't notice, because I liked to be admired a bit longer. I knew he would break his gaze if I acknowledged it. So I sat and made my best effort to remain natural, refusing to ruin the moment with unnecessary interruption. Other times, I would intentionally turn toward him. I would return his gaze and admire every curve of his face. I would notice the perceived flaws and want to kiss them all. My lips would travel across the map of his face, landing on every location of interest. He would laugh, and distract my lips from their unplanned journey by planting his against my own- keeping them in the destination he chose. I was alway obedient to what he wanted. Knowing that he wanted me was enough and so I did as he directed and I enjoyed heeding his unsaid instructions. I knew when he didn't wa

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,
