Is she more than I?

-
                                                                       The unrequited

I looked into your eyes 
and could see the sun setting 

Adoration flooded my body
and I found out it flooded yours 

But it wasn't for me, it was for her. 

My waterfall quickly turned into a puddle
The water dried up and left the flowers
in my body to search for the sunshine

The punch in the gut of realziing 

I speak your name
and you speak hers 

I wonder if she's more

              more poised
  
                         more interesting 

                                    more beautiful 

                                          more expierenced

than me, to you. 

I wonder why she captures your heart and I capture a moment. 


So I took a break
talked to a friend 
and said amen 
captured the attention of many more women
and men 
I fasted, abstained from sex 
sexed it up

yet still there was this deep question inside.. 

why am I not enough for you?

 Let's talk about my top 5 books of 2021 and why I think you should read them.  5.  A book on a love that is actualized In 2020, I needed a hard reset. I think most of us can say that we needed a break from the harsh reality we faced every day. As an honoree mention, Toni Morrisons God Save the Child was one of my first fiction books I decided to dive into as I started my reading to escape/for pleasure escapade. Real Men Knit takes place in New York, where childhood friends come together after the death of an elder who was cherished in the community. This is a short read that gives you the sweet ending we all like to visit from time to time.  4.  A book that talks about an average black girl with a not so average expierence   Okay this book was so good, and so fun to read! I listened to this on audible and the narrator was EVERYTHING. I honestly couldn't put it down. This book shows multiple parallels in our world. On one end, we have a mid 20's black woman who is trying to

Day 14 Kind of. My love for deep things and to understand complex questions has been filled this weekend. Really throughout week 7, as I explore topics of human nature, generational curses, blessings, and lust and love. It's quiet. The type of quiet where you can hear your neighbors on the phone you notice the cars that go and the seemingly empty apartments I feel the urge to grab my vice and let it waste my time but I choose not to settling in the quiet. I am safe.

                                                       I LOVE OUR TIMES TOGETHER I love our times together. Early in the mornings.. I seek your face.  You gently nudge me .                          As you greet me with a new day. The silence of your presence tells more than my own words ever could.  Your nudges are like shots of Hennessy, that enters in one way and quickly flows through my body. Burning like fire in my soul God, I just want you to know that I honor you. I want you to know that because of You I have made my room a sanctuary. Truly, its sacred. I'm listening to music, with my humidifier on and You in my heart.  When it used to be a place where my 'quiet time' was masturbating or lusting, I know find myself dived into Your word, or a sermon, or worship music. I love this life. I love walking in truth and in love. I love you.
