Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York (USA) I figured some thoughts, words, and musings of me would be entertaining- particularly because I say what I mean and of course I mean what I say. Yes, I am an educated African-American woman. Yes, I am a poet. Yes, I am emotional. Yes, I am strong. Yes, I am opinionated. Yes, I am single. Yes I am an avid drinker of coffee. Yes I am in constant struggle- oh and I can not spell, so don't judge [ok maybe a bit] Don't be scared, just be willing

Mother's Day & the Mets...
this is what equals (to me) a big "take your mind off it" while hanging out with bro#2.
he is a HUGE METS fan (nevermind the Mets stand for My Entire Team Sucks HAHAHAH) & since they and the Yanks have new digs this 2009 year and he got tickets... we went to the game. Took the subway & saw the field. It was cozy & chilly since we were by the water out there in Queens but all in all a good game. (they won)
Pics...








and then later in the evening...
i had time to think about all things that equal this day. Last year, my cousin got married and this 1st Mom's day sans mom was all a blur--surreal on an island waking up to someplace unfamiliar..family people were around me but we weren't all together... it is strange that this year everything is so finite. concrete. No one to buy a card for. No one to.. depressing for sure. I still think about all the things we should have time to do... when does that end? when do i cut it out and keep it moving? when do i move on but not forget but appreciate what I have?
yeah somehow I feel like I have 2 strikes against me (dad & mom gone) and am sooo fighting a loosing battle.
breathe...

breeding penguins
too
cold
to type...
and yeah to think they JUST turned on the AC (meanwhile the 80 degree weather we had the past week or so was unacknowledged)
really is controlling a thermostat THAT hard?
sunday afterthoughts
after, i thought i wonder who will think fondly of me when i am no longer in their life?? i wonder if that is silly to think about & wonder if i am doing enough ( of WHATEVER ) to make this life count.
just a thought or two on this rainy sunday

wednesday
yeah bored.
as in (& maybe i should be careful what i ask for...)
but i have nothing to look forward to right now.
i am searching for purpose
i am trying to be alright, hell great dammit.
i am continuously looking for love.
i am contemplating going back to school (???)
i am writing...
but none of it excites me
maybe this is what my 30's are supposed to be like... non excitement + the hum drum mundaneness of everyday routine
wake up, wash, commute to work, work, answer questions, forage for food somewhere thru the day, commute to home, maybe a lil tv, music reading, sleep.
repeat.
boring right?
i need a new hobby...

And while I was joining the site I had to check a "new box" (31-40)
GASP!!!!
depression starts...
followed by the marital status box (single)
depression continues...
should i even continue?
(yes i am being sarcastic--I have a window in my office & the day is beautiful outside so even these new boxes ain't gonna depress me)
poem of the day
Dedicated to _____& _____
This is what love is…
Yes, this is what our love is…
Red roses & candle lit nights
Definitely part of the mix
(Cause we are the romantic types)
Singing love songs in the dark
Taking long walks through Crotona Park
Sharing the deepest secrets of our hearts
This is what love is…
Yes this is what our love is…
Merely me running fingers through your hair
Your calling me anytime of day
Just to say, “Hun, I do care”
All of this equals our one love
Because
This is what love is…
Yes this is what our love is.
Grocery shopping (just me & you)
Holding hands in prayer
This is just what we do
Because
This is what love is…
Knowing when I am wrong
You will be there to make it all right
Comforted in the knowledge
You are here every single night
Kissing your shoulder blade on your right arm
Trusting your actions and words will do me no harm
I say this to all those who question me & you
Simply put, they can never know the depths of
What true love can do.
This is what love is
Yes this is what our love is.
