Respect

R- respect

• a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

• due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.

• a person’s polite greetings.

If i appeared to respect myself before i apologize for the deceit. I did not learn respect, I ascended into self respect and ultimately admiration followed. Due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, and traditions of others, (respect) sets the pattern for all my relationship. Although i can respect man without loving him, I must respect myself in order to love myself. It is required of me. I must admire my abilities, appreciate my qualities, and honor my own achievements to free myself for love. “If you truly [..respected] yourself, you would never hurt another” This is my daily mantra, what’s yours?

I send you my respects xoo

To the Lost Boy

To the Lost Boy I once loved

 

I still cry for you

I thought I loved you

I thought I saw potential in you

In us

I search for you in every Challenge(r) I see

The ruggedness of your speech

The heart in your dialect

You were what I craved

You’d satisfy me nightly

Daily I’d yearn for you

All the while not knowing you were lost

Lost in your own hurt

Lost in your own head

You didn’t know how to love me

So it is best we didn’t go there

You gave me so much promise

But not enough of the follow through

I’m happy I almost loved you

I’m glad we almost made it

To the Lost Boy I once loved………. I wasn’t finished

  I want to bless the month on the first day and entitle it Grateful. I bring happiness into this month and I exit this month with favor. Right now, I am excited for new possibilities and opportunities. I accept challenges and overcome them with grace. I am happy with my life and my love. I am grateful for my 20+ years. I am overflowing with patience and I exude peace. I am blessed and fortunate. I will work hard on self care these 31 days and maintaining tranquility.

Letters to Lima

Sometimes i feel selfish for bringing you into the world. I can protect me but i cant always rely on my strength but i am ok. But you little Lima. My strength falters. My arms aren’t long enough. My eyes cant stay on you tight enough. So many what ifs and no time promised. I prayed for you little Lima. I pray for you Lima. I pray for your strength and your own wisdom. I pray you’ll be safe and happy. I pray and i pray. But i cant pray away fates touch. Today i have you. And today i smile. My love is stronger than my fears. My love is more transparent than my tears. As you grow i pray i will be enough.

I love you Lima

Think.ings

Used and abused simultaneously confused
Where is the light
Where is the key to unlock this cage
Where did you go
Why did you forsake me my love
Who wronged you
Who didnt love you
Who looked your love in the face and turned away
Who burned you
Who turned you
Who awakened this darkness
You shouldnt tell me now isnt the time for this
When you have double the time than most
You’ve placed my seconds, minutes ,hours
In your hands
Or maybe i did that
My apologies i confuse myself

I am the Artist
I am the Poet
I am the Sculptor
I am the Painter
I am the painting
I am the sculpture
I am the poem
I am fluid, I am solid
I am light, I am tinted
I am simple, I am complex
I am the words I speak
I am the thoughts I think
I am the dreams I dream
I am classical
I am the renaissance
I am a movement of self
I am the people I love
I am a piece of this world and the next
I am the Dream
I am a Queen

Della Dear

Dear Della

  I have been dating a guy for 6 month now. Every thing has been great. He is thoughtful (he buys me flowers twice a month just because). I feel like he really listens to me. We have great conversations. A few months ago i feel the courting phase died out. We stopped going out on as many dates but we still met up and spent time with one another. A week ago we were talking and he told me “If I were a better man you’d be perfect for me”. He cancelled a date on me but we spent time together the next night. He cancelled again on me a few days ago now he seems to be MIA. What gives?
  Dear Miss Givens (not Robin)
  You have done absolutely nothing wrong my dear. You did exactly what you were supposed to do. You believed in this man. You trusted this man. You tried to build with this man. However this just was not the man for you. When someone tells you who they are believe them with the fullness of your heart. He showed you the representative for as long as he could then it started to wane ( a few months ago when you started going out less). He tried for you because he saw how good you were for him. My observation is that this man saw your light and your beauty and wanted to capture it. He tried to change but he realized he is not at the point in his life to be the best man for you. The way he let you know was immature  but at least he let you know. Sometimes men/ people aren’t the greatest communicators and you Sweetheart should just forgive him and move on. Thank him for the good times and wish peace&blessings. You are not at fault in any way. Trust your instinct a little more next time. Keep your head up Queen, your King is coming

Story Time

I used to work at a pharmacy as a cashier. I worked there for years. It was an easy job. Prime location near the city. Lots of opportunities for me to talk and engage with people. (My heart’s desire)
So one day a middle aged woman hurries in and asks/tells me she needs a “disposable” camera. (Quotations explained momentarily) I was helping another customer finalize their purchase when the woman asks/tells me again that she needs a “disposable” camera. I tell her they are on the far side of the register along the wall. She walks over and 30 seconds later yells “These say Single-Use”.

          The End

Think.ings

My mind is fleeting
My mind is bleeding
Colors, lyrics, words, actions, dreams
The unconsciously conscious
The seen unseen
Whats a dream without the means
Without the heart how do you start
How does it end
Wait let me grab a pen
