I, You , Our
​
I remember loving the hell out of you for no reason at all-
Overbearingly, incessantly, especially extraordinarily
I evoke and invoke your spirit through the haunting musical serenades from your heart to mine
I recall being enraptured by your hugs, your kisses, your caresses, and your excesses
I relive the moments we were involved with each other’s essences, enthralled in each other’s oras, submerged in each other’s passions, absolutely absorbed within each other’s entities
I treasure the life created by our mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical growth and zenith; the creation of one from the autonomous lives of two
I summon up the audacity to invite you back into my world because my world does not thrive without the recollection of the memories of you
So, I beseech you to consider being with me again so forever will have to desist in order to respect our mutual devotion of love

Those 3 Words
​
He said those three words to me that every woman wants to hear when she has fallen head-over-heels.
He said those three words in a powerful way but ended up meaning nothing powerfully.
He said those three words when I was at my most vulnerable, when I prayed for God to send me him.
He said those three words to me when we stared into each other’s eyes trying to figure out the mystery of each other’s lives.
He said those three words to me before he took me to heights of intimacy, then again after to solidify that things will not change now that our relationship is different.
He said those three words in hopes that I will see him in a better light amidst the darkness I allow him to put me through.
He lied to me about me being the only one
He used sex as a weapon to kill my common sense
He even used ‘I love you’ as a shield to mask his own guilt.
That’s right, ‘I love you’ are not those three words I am talking about.
There are three more words said together that are more significant, yet more dangerous, more conniving when they are not fully understood and cherished, or even taken seriously.
These three words said to me during those chaotic interactions with him made me question myself, and whether I have meaning behind my saying of them…
He told me “I AM SAVED.”

Self-Esteem
​
I know I have
Wrote or written
Poetry
-poems-
About the men of my life
Or lack of man thereof
Who have been wrong
Are wrong
Do wrong
Be wrong
But as my momma says
-say-
Can’t be them all the time
Gotta be you sometime
Sometimes.
Alright.
She’s right.
She never took his side
Their sides,
But all of them
-hims-
Can’t be wrong all the time
So it must be me
I don’t have luxurious hair
Unless I buy it
I don’t have Angelina’s lips,
Beyonce’s butt
Janet’s breasts
Trina’s thighs
Or Oprah’s money
I do have
A good heart
Great smile
God’s soul
Progressing wisdom
Overt creativity
And superfluous sex appeal
Yet none of this is seen
-saw-
By those I want to notice me
-notice me-
By standards set by who ever
They or them,
I am flawed in every way
But if what I am is flaws
I am
And always will be
Perfection – flawlessly
