I see behind your eyes

… then I’m transforming.

Finality is quite fine with me if you know we can go there.  You ready?  Because if you are, I’m going so deep inside of you, you will always tell me the truth.

I’m going so deep inside of you, you will always tell me the truth.
I’m going so deep inside of you, you will always tell me the truth.
I’m going so deep inside of you, you will always tell me the truth.

The voices inside of me.

I am drunk with the power to change my mind, to know my history, to build a nurturing environment for myself and family, to create powerful names to live by, to live the abundant life.  I am high off my ability to stand firm in truth, even when I have to do it alone… this is my body, my identity, my life, my future, my NOW!  I am transforming back into the [in]volved spiritual systems of my ancestors and more!

I shout because I’m alive, and grateful, and honest, and full with Love and patience. My chalice runneth over… so so so grateful.

Let’s be very clear.  As is my intent.

If my ability to hear, to see, to feel bothers your ability to hide the truth… you should wave at me from a distance.  It’s okay.  I will not lie to myself to make you feel comfortable.  You shouldn’t either.  For anyone.  Be in Love with the Truth.

ADAGE OF OUR ANCESTORS
I define my intent and then I go into silence.
Every word I say, I mean.

I’m so serious.

Sun in My Mouth

Image

Who would’ve known that a being like Him
would enter me lightly
and restore my kisses…

Who would’ve known
that beauty this immense
would define my innocence
moving the core of me…
in one direction

Flow
who would’ve known
that he’d flow so well to my persuasion
who would’ve known
that he’d uncover the voice
hidden so deep within
hidden so deep within
hidden so deep within…

the Sun in my mouth
the warmth of assurance
you can,
never measure His endurance
the height of Him,
the Wife of Him

To inhale a man
loaded with courage
to taste a man
loaded with loyalty
to breathe in a man
with knowledge of my insides…

and knowledge of Self…

this is Our wealth

Who would’ve known such a miraculous breath,
a sacred voice would escape my throat
singing the song of Him…

the song of Us

Who would’ve known
that His equation would equal my eruption
His approach to a woman like me…
a Lover like me…

Reconstructing His Light
He’s the other half of My Life
a compass, a totemic twin

when the halves are fitted together
Who would’ve known
you’d have a wHole

To swallow the darkness of
spiritual hygiene,
let the heat cleanse
and release me
into you

let’s unite tonight
embrace you tight…

so much of me…

I thrive

inside of

Image

Coming here was part of the cure
           walking into this place of silence
                   into the aloneness of the unknown
                                 into the darkness of creation

I unfold
       Unravel, unwind
             I search the valleys of my mind,

of myself
wandering, I wonder

Where am I?

Somewhere behind the mask
I could feel

I had eyes beneath the surface
eyes planted so deep inside of me
          unlike belief, intuitively bequeathed

The memories teased my release
until the streams of me became oceans

The heat of my questions melted glaciers
until the landmass of walking matter which was once me,

the iciness

became something different

             something shifted
something changed
something closed
something opened

Asking, I asked, I’m asking

I passed, I drifted into suspension
until the material world became the bottom

the abysmal abyss of dismemberment

Looking up
           I could see

Complex equations made simple

Turning as if on a wheel
          dying as if it were living

The utterance of oneness

Let these numbers lead the way
Let these choices extend the day
Let this pressure be calming…

as I maintain peace

Dark Matter

Image

It is in the way     that you hear my voice
It is in the way     that you feel my heartbeat
It is the sound of me,
reflecting you
that sustains us

I am dressed in the light of your darkness …It is the knowledge of things flowing

The adding and subtracting
The zig-zag motion
It is the silence
The way that you go into my mind and find remnants of past lives
This is our now, is our future
is our life
is our children

is our everything

The way that you see me

The way that you vibrate inside of me
The waves in our frequency

The water, so pure, so charged

Reimagining love into something more

Something beyond this language

The way of you and I

Is unknown to the eye
You must travel into and beyond

to be Us…

the way of his words
the way of his touch
never to pass judgment
never to silence me

only to see clearly…

Healing Flow

Image

Could she be speaking of someone she loves or is she speaking to herself?  You decide.

Remember, you can only experience the healing flow when you truly desire to tell the truth about yourself.  Who are you?  Focus on the reflection you see when you look into the mirror.  Your eyes tell everything.  Breathe. Set yourself free.

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned,

UP LATE: All you gotta do is call me

AL GreenSimply Beautiful

I remember my mother’s love for the music of AL Green.  In fact, she had so much love for this man, she kept a crumbled rose that he had given to her at the Ohio State Fair during the 70s.  I was born in 1984.  She still had that rose wrapped in a plastic bag until the mid-90s!  She had shown up alone, hours early for his concert so that she could get a seat in the front row.  Sitting there, waiting, she didn’t realize that during his soundcheck, he had seen her from behind the curtain.  During the show, he came down off the stage and announced to the crowd that he wanted my mother to have that rose, his leather jacket and scarf for showing such commitment.  I’m sure her ♥ heart ♥ fluttered big time!  What an exciting moment.  I always loved hearing this story.  I too, enjoy AL Green.  I am pleased to share him.

P.S. A rose for Rosemary!  That’s her name.  And as you can imagine, he surely did say, “here’s a rose for Rosemary.” 

I’m up late, listening to these soft words.

Thank you for coming here,

The fear of losing me…

Image

You can pretend I’m a bad girl
You can pretend I’m a good girl
But whatever I got, you know you want it
Whatever you need, you know I got you

You can pretend that I broke your heart
But you know, it was never right from the start

You know you were betraying another to have me, but
you’d betray yourself not to pursue me, so
you did
and the timing was…
and the rest is history…

Your story…

Tell it how you please
It really doesn’t bother me
Paint pictures and tell the world that Shila wasn’t everything,
it’s funny to me
you prolonged this experience until I couldn’t,
but I wasn’t?

It’s eating you up not to know why I left, so
you provide a fake truth
to cover up the way you really feel

You know I’m down for the cause
and NOT just because I’m broken-hearted,
running from the past, and lonely

I really loved you
and I’m really strong
and I really held you down when you had nothing

and you know it

But do as you please
in your dreams, you remember me…
Say my name,
or don’t

I’m still here, and

I’m from the Jungle,
I know the deal

and you and I
know the real

Whatever you like, though
Proceed

Did you forget?
You’re from the Jungle too

Let that fear go, the e go
and let’s eat

at ease.

P.S. Do you ever feel like the English language doesn’t have the words to express what you are feeling?  Like, it’s not your native tongue?  But it’s your first language, the one you’ve been taught, but somehow, it isn’t fulfilling?  Get at me.
