Looking back on the mistakes I made

Now, knowing they were lessons learned

Reflections

Looking back on the chaos that ensued

Now knowing that

You get the bad sometimes before the good

Reflections

Looking back at the rage I felt

Now knowing how to control myself and move forward

Reflections

Looking back on it all

Now knowing I am standing tall

Through it all

Those Insecurities  

Unexperienced 

The Truth Hurts.

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes the truth hurts

That’s just being real

The truth, though it can be hurtful

Would set you free

Sometimes that is what is needed

The lessons that come with it

The truth is sometimes a blessing and sometimes it is not

Overcoming what comes to light

Can be a struggle to deal with

But, again

Knowing the truth would set you free

And how you deal with it can change your life

But, damn

In certain situations

The damn truth hurts…

-Truth Hurts-

Blessings and Love!

Truth

Bedtime!

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Moon hums in the dark

Blankets hug me close

Pillow kisses face

Bedtime drifts me home

Night hums low like gentle breath

Blankets gather quiet dreams

Pillow soft on cheeks

Bedtime tucks me in

It’s time to get a goodnight’s sleep…….Goodnight!

-Bedtime-

Blessings and Love

Nostalgia

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

There once was a heart in the past

Where memories shimmered like glass

Memories snap clean

Nostalgia breathes light

Bright shards of yesterday gleam

Nostalgia cuts deep

Old laughter still glows

In the places it froze

Nostalgia holds beautiful moments that last

Nostalgia, thinking of the past!

Blessings and Love

Love or Lust??

Crazy: Love, Lust


Hello everyone,

Y’all know that feeling. The feeling of being in love or you think you are. You’re in the stage of feeling all the emotions like all of them. You don’t like them or their ways; everything irritates you. You question everything, wondering if you made the right decision or if it is LUST. Is it real, or are they using you, or are you using them? What is it? You love them, you hate them sometimes need space from each other. I call it the test phase where both parties like to test each other and push buttons and get reactions.

Smh but that’s what happens when you are really not sure if it’s love or lust or if it’s the person you really want. Sometimes it can be just sex that keep two people together, there is no real love between them. Some might think so but NO. Why do we put ourselves in situations like this? If it is real love, it will not hurt you, make you feel low and sad, or have you second-guessing yourself. I’m just saying this love thang can be Crazy. Seriously 😂

Am I the only one who thinks so? I get there will be ups and downs in relationships, but if they are constant and you feel stuck, it’s too much to deal with, or you feel like you both cannot get on better terms, LEAVE. I feel a person should not settle or put up with BS just to not be or feel alone. What do you guys think? Do you choose love or lust?


Blessings All

Everyday Happiness!

My kids are one of the five things that bring me happiness every day. Seeing their happy faces every day brings me joy. (Not a thing, but happiness to me all the time!)

The next is coffee. I need coffee every morning to start my day off right. Get coffee in me, and I will be ready to conquer the day.

Another thing is my computer, which I use to write and do research. I also need it because I work from home. The computer is vital for me to use every day.

My cell phone, a pen, and a notebook are other things I use daily that bring me happiness. Those are my 5 everyday things that bring me happiness.

Blessings and Love!

Life, Process

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

To sit with yourself

Through the pain, misery, struggles, heartaches

To talk to yourself, saying it will be ok

Through the tears

Facing your struggles head on everyday

Knowing better days are coming

You sit patiently nursing yourself

From all the hurt

Speaking life into yourself

Knowing only, you can do it

This journey is for self

Fixing yourself for yourself

Breath of fresh air

Burst of energy

Leaving the old shit behind

To sit with yourself

From struggle to success

To talk to yourself

Through the hurt to the happiness

Knowing it’s all a damn

Process……

Life, Process

Blessings and Love

To anyone who is having a hard time right now. Keep your head up. Please know that you are love and loved! You got this and KEEP GOING!

Learn to Love

poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Gentle guidance with a patient pace

Learning to love it is a daunting race

Heart aflutter, mind is a maze

Fumbling steps, unsure ways

With each stumble, we grow wise

Love’s mysteries, we begin to surmise

Through trials and errors, we improvise

And in our hearts, love multiplies

The ghazal of love, a journey long

But with each step, we grow strong

Learning to love, a lifelong song

With each verse, our hearts belong.

-Learn to Love-

Blessings and Love
