In continuing with my finding of my self.  I'm adding some poems not by me to the mix of this crazy blog world.  Inspired, feared, craved, nurtured...whatever strikes me at the time

Will try to include the author if available...apologies if I misspell something, a girl is only human.

Now as I drink my tea and fight off this impending cold I hope to bring you some deep personal thought time.  Even if those thoughts are just "Damn, I forgot to do laundry today" :)

Til then
Stay Caffeinated

Late Nights in VA

I lay here
Unable to sleep
Mind won't shut down
Thoughts
Spinning
Going going and going
Somebody hand me a drum
So many times to tell you
Whats on the brain
Stalled by fear of your rejection
I want you
No titles
No labels just
You and me
And I want you to want me
But I'm too scared to open up and tell you
Slowly building
Walls
Trenches
Moats
To guard myself from the hurt
Trying
Wishing the feelings had an off button
A force valve I could close
Wanting the unwanted
Or maybe I'm the unwanted
Unneeded
Fears creep in
Pushing me to the silence
To the deep dark corners
Where the doubts surround and cover me
Questioning whats and why's
When all I want is to tell you
I want you
Feel your arms pull me close
As you tell me
You want me too

Unfinished

Why must I always be defined
By those who dont look like me
Stop
Dont define me by the sounds pumping through my speakers
Nor by the hair hanging down my back
Or not hanging at all
Classify me as ethnic
Cause I rock my hair natural
Thug cause he plays his music loud
Classification
Definition
Labels
Stupid pitiful labels
Historically classifying
Even those you see daily
Forever putting them in boxes

Hampton Ban Response 2

Oh Hampton....I was really hoping the dreadlock ban was a fake when I heard it last week but reading these articles from today....*Sigh*....

So Mr Credle...Your argument as you've presented it is that Charles Drew, Martin Luther King Jr, and Muhammad Ali didn't have dreadlocks so they aren't a professional look...You know what they also didn't have...A BLACK PRESIDENT! Do better its 2012 almost 2013...its hair!!!!  

Stop putting so much emphasis on hair!  Do you not realize you are the EDUCATOR that is suppose to be INSPIRING your students.  Not telling them they wont succeed if they don't look like the guy from VT who DOESN'T have dreads.  What world is this????  We have a Black President, Augusta let in not just a woman but a Black Woman....Can we just focus on changing the world...Stop letting cultural differences continue to segregate a society that really never got over it in the first place regardless of what some may think.  

We choose to look at things with such a negative energy that anything good that comes from it is taken away.  So you mean to say if someone approached this Dean Credle with the best idea in the United States and offered it exclusively to Hampton, he'd look at him in a certain light if they had dreadlocks...because its not professional??

I'm sorry but I've seen some VERY professional looking MEN AND WOMEN with dreadlocks

Hmm they all look pretty professional to me...and not a rapper or athlete in sight....

Do better 2012!!!!

Essence....

The essence of you

Thrills me

Creates this passionate

burning

desire 

warms my soul.

your essence turns

even the bluest of days

to one filled with sunshine

like the rainbow after the thunderstorm

its become a treasure

to me

to have you 

just be around

the energy i feel around you

that flows from within you

the things you do to me

without ever touching me

that exhilarate me

miles away 

but my body calls out for you

and oh...

when you answer the call

fireworks and lighting

thunder claps

words aren't enough

surely you know

but maybe you can't see

what all your essence

does to me

8/23/12

Felt so real...pt1?

In the dim of the night
As I lay asleep
I feel the heat of your body
Lying beside me
Warming me just so
The weight
Of your arm lays across my stomach
Anchoring me to this peace

The warmth from your lips
Tickles my neck
Muscles relaxed
Completely at ease
My body yearns for the touch
The warmth
For more
I roll over
You were just my imagination
Running away with me
Felt so real...
You've become a craving
A want of never ending desire
Passion
I lay down
Wishing you were here
Felt so real.....

Words of wonder

I WANT THAT LOVE

Lift your veil

So I may see your face

Part the clouds

So I may see the moon

Scatter your hair

So I may sense your fragrance

Part your lips

So I may kiss your breath

I want that love

That moved the mountains

I want that love

That split the ocean

I want that love

That made the winds tremble

I want that love

That roared like thunder

I want that love

That will raise the dead

I want that love

That lifts us to ecstasy

I want that love

That is the silence of eternity
