rest & rise

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

As the sun peeks over the horizon

I open my eyes and think of you

I turn to see you sleeping

Chestnut lids covering dark brown eyes

That look in to mine with passion ablaze

Surely I dreamt of you while sleeping by your side

Hands clasped between our thighs.

I pass the day with sweet nothings and forget me nots

Forging my own path with joy and liberty

And as I lay down to sleep late in the midnight hour

My head on your chest finds rest

Feels so blessed to know you when I rise.

How do you express your gratitude?

I am so glad to have reached your shores

Somehow I have found this blessing

Bountiful, joyful and plenty,

Slowly unearthing a soul

Free and clean

Just as I am

Not now I should have been

A soft place to land

Queens in a kings seat with equal authority

To that of a man, a swarming army

Not here to paint a fiction

relatively justifying any particular picture

No lie to sell about godhood and patriarchy

a unwilling participant in a capitalistic system

What was the last live performance you saw?

Saw some talented poets at poetry slam where I read my poem, mr. unavailable:

excellent service mr. unavailable

emotionally, spiritual and intellectual.

-ly lacking and siphoning

my energy,

with drops of love

so i decided to fill my cup.

and although I’m ever so grateful

this is the year of the faithful.

those who recognize and give their due.

treasure a treasure and not play the fool.

consolation lies in reciprocating,

yet a well run dry leaves one only waiting.

for that which will never come.

can’t call myself dumb.

i believed your every word,

and that which was left unspoken.

you healed the places that were broken,

filled the spaces gone unnoticed.

here there is no blame, only acknowledgement
