Hold me close and easy,

for if you need me—need me.

Unclothe me nice and slow,

getting to know my every simile.

Feel the way my heart beats

when I breathe out, like the sea.

Skin silk like sand on its beach,

hiding treasures w...

Embracing the Sun: Heat, Health & Hydration

Summer is a beautiful season, but it is also a season that demands awareness. The sun is stronger, the days are longer, and the heat can affect the body in ways we often overlook. Taking care of yoursel...

some people go away

some people move away

some people pass away

I sometimes drift away

I can be sitting right here nodding away
at everthing you're saying

and be a thousand miles away from this
chair listening to a different
conversation

when I'm in my notebook
I'm in my bag

pulling out stuff I forgot I had

a backward K and question mark
both been waiting in the dark

some were seeds I couln't sow
now they're things I finally know

some nights I write love poems
some nights three women sing
and my heart demands one

Ella sings about a room

a chair

in a house

that's not a home

Sarah sings about what it's like
to be strung out on love

Nina demand...

I says "I know me"
Me says "I don't know me"
Self says "I agree'

there was a school of
mastery

over the doorway hung a
sign that read

MONK

except the K was bacward

a student pointed it out to
the master teacher

"the K is backward"

the master teacher looked
at the sign and said

You gave us the throne of the universe

Love and honor unto humanity as we daily converse

Standing around too long, arrested because too slow to disburse

The storms, the sun, the rains

Unnatraul western emollients to ease the discomfort of our ...

Sparkling diamonds, such a joy to see, wear
From the jewels embedded in my earlobes, adorned around my neck
To the crown of prominence resting atop my curly hair
Whose hands dipped into the Motherland to give me my illustrious shine
Sweltering...

Mmmm, let me AI you, my love

Let me fill you with the wonder of the skies above

Softly place my heart at the helm of your brass feet

A soft whisper in your ear when our intellects in the mist come to greet

Your throaty groans, my sultry moans ...

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina stormed through New Orleans and Louisiana. The only difference was, in New Orleans (intentional or not), the levees broke.
The flood waters flooded the 9th ward and most of the city causing tremendous floodi...

You see me walking with a limp
I see me walking by faith
You see me working at a gas station
I see me aligned and in position
You see me driving a 20 year old car
I see another answered prayer

You see me as a single woman with 5 childre...
