Premium Member Time In Heaven
A bouquet of fresh air never fades. In an intimate setting. The ocean is veiled in secrecy. Murmuration's breathtaking patterns. Starlings moving as one entity. The ego is a third party. Your secret admirer. Harmony without effort in nature, dreaming up a vast green pasture. This is no ordinary slumber. Sweet, rose-colored winds of change, The ocean is an incompatible weather vane. Dread and dream...

The invitation of love into a black woman's heart
Deep down she was a hopeless romantic Masked with hate because she thought she couldn't have it After all she was a black woman When she asked the world for love it laughed at her It's why she gave up, a story so tragic Growing up in a world where white was the beauty standard And being black was...

Pretty Is a concept You'll never Understand If you think I see you Through endeavours Of the hand I love You make the effort Appreciate Your style I love you Past the surface Just deeper All the while You paint Just like a rainbow With hues and shades And stuff Yet beautiful Has found you Already You're enough...

Her journey to self love
She sat in front of her vanity mirror Her reflection felt unfamiliar The girl in it didn't look how she pictured She felt like a visitor In a body that should be familiar Yet somehow she felt like a prisoner Not knowing how to feel about the person in the mirror who reflected her She wasn't...

God Gave Me You
We both jumped off a cliff, I fell You flew We both went for a dip, You swam I sank to darker hues Each night my dreams play On replay These similar troublesome tales Yet the day brings the light Which reflects the words I only dare believe From your eyes And the rhythm of your heart Beats several strides slower Just so...

The art of letting go
She wouldn't let the guilt warp her mind into believing its perception of her She knew who she was And she was is a girl who's been deeply hurt She knew deep down no one was coming to save her That she would have to see herself Hear herself And listen to her self The pain ached It felt...

SELF LOVE
Love yourself my loves. Loving yourself will set you free, just like a bee, flying freely in the air we breathe. Free to enjoy all of life’s sweet moments, like a love in a dream. Make a plan that you can achieve all of your dreams. Loves may come and go, but you will always have yourself to love....

She wore the wrong thing that day
That day she decided to speak For too long they had called her meek She woke up early Decided she'd wear something that would compliment her curvy Spent hours on her hair making sure each and every follicle was extra curly She wore dark red lipstick to cause a lot of controversy Her mom saw her said...

Our crown
Our skin shines like gold A story waiting to be told Our eyes like chocolate And nothing can top that Our hair the halo we wear Whilst they stop and stare Totally unaware Of the black power we share Our skin loved by the sun Our beauty a vision We are golden Something that can't be...

Moon of the Wild
She came in silence where the cedars sway, A lunar hush beneath the argent trees. The serpentine wind curled words she wouldn't say— Just breaths and bow and coolness on the breeze. Her sisters moved like stars in cascade flight, The Hunters, free of longing, fierce and far. Their eyes held depths no lover dared to write, Each step a hymn beneath...

The little girl at the muesum
Museums A place full of stories Of art Not just in the paintings But in the people too A little black girl walking hand in hand with her mother Her eyes lit up in wonder Wandering what she would discover While she walks around Spinning around And jumping up and down She doesn't see That everytime she jumps the light reflecting on her beautiful...

When I look into my grandmother's eyes
When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see what she's had to sacrifice When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see a lifetime of pain she's carried When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see the hurt of not being accepted When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see Someone who once despised her beautiful...

Self-Love
be gentle with yourself like fragile glass. you're only human, imperfectly perfect, we're all a little broken. it's no use dwelling in the past; abandon regrets and mistakes there. whenever you fall down, you'll rise back up. no matter how i n f i n i t e s i m a l, anything troubling will come to pass,...

You're a Star
Ssshhh! Ssshhh! Ssshhh! Says who? Says YOU? I knew. I doubt YOU. Hush! Hush! Hush! Now why? YOU cried? I knew. YOU lied. In the stillness Is the sound of silence. In the darkness YOU shine the brightest. Mind this: A star Is never born In the light. It's unnoticed until before twilight. But alas! When born It creates the day. It has found a way. So YOU... don't doubt, don't lie. It's ok to cry. Yield yourself high. Dream, Believe, Survive. ---Self-love is believing...
