Today, I freed myself. I revealed myself. I cried.
I am FIRE. I ignite trails, but sometimes I feel overpowered.
I need water. I need balance. I need you and you need me.
I be the innovator, I be the movement. You be the in between.
“And I figured out that the reason I couldn’t get through the day as
well as I can now is because I had too many things on my mind, on
my plate, you know, for one person to have. So I started to eliminate
some of the things that were too heavy to carry and unnecessary.”
-Erykah Badu"If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I."
Michel De Montaigne
My mind passed back through time, when life was a blossoming flower and you were the bee to my honey.
I inhaled you daily, so much that I smell you now. Nag Champa. Trails of smoke travel from your mouth, a
stench recognizable. Darkness encloses us into a space for two, though I find light in your eyes. Your stare,
I did love. Black love, we were. Touch me there, yes, my mind is pleased. Tease me, but do not leave. Take
me on a ride, to that cafe, that street, that park, lover's hill. Immersing ourselves without fear. We did that.
M first soulmate.
