LOVE On My Mind

Last night I went to bed with LOVE on my mind

Only to be greeted by LOVE this morning

LOVE kissed me good morning

LOVE held onto me for just moment before getting out of bed

LOVE decided to play a tune, Yusef Lateef to be exact

LOVE took its time with me this morning!

LOVE’s hand gently caressed my body during my morning shower

LOVE took its time, as if it were only I and LOVE in this world alone;

Time seemed to stop, this was our moment!

In a trance, I gave way to LOVE’s every command,

For I knew I was in good hands

LOVE benevolently oiled my body down,

Paying attention to every crevice, no spot was left untouched

I became LOVE’s canvass

LOVE softly stroked my body,

 The only evidence of any emotion left in my body was the soft sigh

that escaped from my lips

Wrapped in LOVE, I laid in bed, unwilling to start the day

LOVE gazed into my eyes, pulled me closer,

And gently yet passionately kissed my lips

Arousing a titillating sensation throughout my body

As if to remind me we have a whole lifetime together

Sensing that I’d rather spend day with LOVE

I dressed in LOVE as LOVE lay in bed and watched me

As if to hold onto this morning’s memory forever

LOVE walked me out the door and kissed my forehead good bye

Damn I should have taken the day off…

I went to bed with LOVE on my mind, last night

And was greeted by LOVE this morning

My Lifes Crossroads

Currently I am at the peak of my game!!! I'll be turning 26 this Saturday and  graduating with a Masters Degree in Public Health in a little over a week! However despite all attention and focus being placed on me and my academic and career accomplishments,, these two factors in my life will not keep me warm at night. I cant help but measure my accomplishments against my friends and classmates, individuals whom don't only have degrees but are in committed relationships, some married and others expecting their first child. I on the other hand am no where near a committed relationship, let alone has a prospect (I thought I did, but that mission seem as though it will soon be aborted, sadly). My mother and father's words echo in my ear "Now you need a boyfriend!" as they have a desire for grandchildren as well. Although I am in no rush to get married or have children, it would be nice to have a significant other to share all my accomplishments with and to help build one another up in what life endeavors we wish to embark on. I don't know... while I love the few girlfriends I have I want someone to keep me warm at night...you know, someone special, and not short bus special....

Freeing Spirit

 
The importance f being free has never been so relevant in my life. Two weeks away from turning 26 and four years away from my 30th birthday I can not help but say that I am proud of the woman that I am becoming. I can recall how I always gave a rats tail about what others thought about, who was watching and whether or not they thought that I was cute or cute. As I have matured I have found that I am slowly (I am still a working progress) shedding that spirit.
