Long time coming...

If this world were different, and not perfect, because that type of existence is not allotted to us; if this world were different I would answer yes.

When you look at me and the words flow from your lips I would smile to myself, that smile would spread across my face, then the entirety of my being and I would say "yes". But then this world is no different than it were a moment ago, and within the moments I have learned the harsh and jagged difficulties of this difference.

I've learned that sometimes time moves things at a pace that can only be seen through the forgotten images of our still memories, because moving so fast living in the moments can seem almost a dream.

I have learned that time makes us wait for things that we cannot face, that we cannot have, and that we want in urgent immediacy.

I don't want the stability of constancy, I did not sign up for those things, and this is neither the time nor the place.

I want the hesitancy of lips touching lips, and the urgency of hands rushing to meet waist and pulling me closer, the silence all around and the ceaseless sound of my thoughts.

I want the moments, to last a little longer, to last a little longer.

And All I Really Want...

I am currently in the throws of some galactic battle, an all out war on common sense, reality, and all those things which should really be important in our day to day. I am planning a wedding. A few years ago pre-engagement, before meeting the man who I had no idea would be the one, I knew exactly what I wanted in a wedding. At this point the marriage part did not factor in because hey, I had time. I wanted the wind, and trees, a few friends, a few family, a pretty simple dress, and him. There was no need for rice and bubbles, doves or bells, poofy hair and perfect nails. I was always that simplistic about my life, hating the showy monstrosity of it all and now I am here. I am here in the midst of the chaotic. 150 people, catering, photographers, dresses, and hair, and centerpieces, and music, and linen jackets to make it dressy enough but not too dressy. Somewhere along the way I lost it, somewhere along the way. I long for the stillness, the quiet, the spontaneous. That stillness of ...

The United Nations...Here and Now

"I am the first to admit I have dated all around the world, as a matter of fact a former friend and I would call ourselves the UN (United Nations). As a young black woman I had the all too common experience of growing up in a predominantly white southern town, on the daily seeing racism in ways that some may never know, I also had the benefit of a very diverse family who would break the mold just as well as hold it in place..." In continuation from the previous post on this issue, yes, I have dated outside of my race with frequency. It still amazes me how a visual characteristic can have such an unwavering hold on the minds and lives of people that it remains one of the most predominant issues of hot debate. The discussion of race is necessary to rid us of those misconceptions we may have about others at the same time I think in some ways the constant discussion of race just serves to continually draw attention to the subtle insignificant differences between people, its a ver...

Thursday I don't care About You It's Friday...

Biting my nails.... It's a Friday night do you know where your life is? Mine is sitting in a chair staring past my laptop at the wall. Boring...Yes but this is the life of a PREMATURE metro goddess, I haven't hit complete active metro goddess status yet. Why am I sitting at home? I imagine the numerous things I could be getting myself into. Clubbing with Khep...He did invite me. Drinking with Ash...I'm too broke and she works in the morning. In His bed...And I mean that in a very not sexual kind of way. I'm going to refer to him as Him for the purposes of this little blogging space. He is exquisite but he doesn't know it. He is the guy that somewhere deep down I really want but I have maintained enough foresight to quell those thoughts; A great achievement considering his lips on mine and his hands all over me, but that's irrelevant until my head and my heart stop separating the two. To be cliche and film quoting He is "everything I never knew I always wa...
