The House That Love Built * Poem*

He moved me to do things that I hadn't done.

Highway drives, random rides, he was up for fun.

He held my hand as we listened to tunes.

We would chat about politics, friends, and news.

Conversation just flowed with any topic we'd choose.

He would puff on natural stuff, and I would drink all the booze.

I'd play in his hair and he would always close his eyes and smile.

We'd escape in our place and allow our passion to run wild.

Our hearts moved inches and then soared for miles.

He wanted us to pour our love into making a child.

But then there was the fighting, and the hurt feelings.

The light that shone on us fell hard from loves ceiling.

Loves walls were crumbling and the paint was peeling.

Love was breaking down faster than we could do the healing

We couldn't buy back all the happiness the drama was stealing

God wouldn't answer our prayers so we both quit kneeling.

Each day resentment would continue to build.

day by day until our house was filled

and we couldnt see what we worked to create.

we couldnt change the new house, it was just too late.

Moving out was so hard to do.

loves house didn't just change...he did too.

we often asked each other: "who are you?"

we would claim to be the same, but it just wasn't true.

Then one day, it was just done.

I had him, and then I had no one.

the house that love built, was just a memory.

of me and him, except he was a she.


Relationships are relationships.
Love is love.

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

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,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
