Early Day 7
Sounds of laughter, circle my mind and the sounds starts to entertain my thoughts of clear beautiful water of colors of blue and green. With the warm sun kissing my chocolate skin. But instead I wake of with my eyes stinging in pain, and I realize the time is 7:10 a.m.
SHIT!
Were late…rushing over the thinking about the events of the night/early morning prior, and the sounds come...

Day 8
After 48hrs, of healing and eating very little but crackers, we finally are strong enough to continue with our travels. Today Barcelona, we will see your beauty. Today we embrace one of my favorite artist Picasso, at his museum (Museu Picasso). Dressed and ready to go we pack water and head towards the metro.
I am a little slow this morning and my body would like something for energy, so...

Day 5
Today is a great day…still some conquering to be done. First things first breakfast by the Notre Dame, we find ourselves by a cute cafe, where my friend got herself a nutella crepè and I got french fries….haha in France. When we were done we attempted to go up the Notre Dame but our budget would not allow since we still needed to shop and then go to the Louvre…oh well till next time… I will...
Money and Our True Presence
“The calm existence that is mine when I Am worthy of myself.” ~William Wordsworth~
This has been a thought in my mind for some time, about how the human race determines our worth. It seems for us, as humans, money is that worth. It’s in our music, films, in society standards and in our history. Sometimes when we are interested in approaching someone of interest, our confidence doesn’t seem to...

Communication
Communication
I have been thinking about a lot of things. Communication is such a strong thing, especially with now in the world, there are so many ways to communicate with someone.
But at the same time, our recent ways of communication, silence our voices. Think about it, when you are send a message thru email or chatting with someone online. There is no voice heard.
Our voices have been...

Day 3
We have arrived in Barcelona, landing earlier then planned but gave us time to try to find the bus that will take us to the Gerona airport for our Paris flight. After discovering where our bus was we slept half way on our way to the Gerona center, before catching another bus that took us to the airport. When we arrived we discovered that we were a few hours early and decided to chill, I...

Contribution and Change
What is my contribution, to others and myself?
In some ways life is about servitude, it’s about helping one another. Give with your whole heart and mind, and things will come your way. The time has come to give whole heartily. I feel that to complete myself I need to be helping others, one focus at a time.
First goal in within helping artists, because our contribution is great! We helped with...

The Travel Blogs
Hello Everyone,
I will be sharing shot synopsis on my travels here in Europe. For the past couple of days I have been in Paris, France. It was my first time there, I was already considering moving there, because I enjoyed it so much!
On my first day there it was more short travel, as we basically got ourselves to the hotel and decided to tour a little of our neighborhood, we were on the left...
Thinking
I am not sure if life is as complicated as I thought. It may just be hard on those who wish it to be hard. Life is nothing but choices, but sometimes it’s within the choices that life can seem complicated.
I am in a state on bewilderment, because some things that once seem so simple are not. But that is only because other situations are making things far more complicated.
I try to seek the light...
System
It has occurred to me more today then any other day, that we in fact live our lives on a system, and simply depend on that system without thinking, of the consequences.
If it is wrong we really do not considered the responsibility. We create things to make life easier, but once we have done that we tend to forget the basics, and wonder why we are all screwed when the functions don’t work.
I...

My Skin...
“Black is beautiful.” ~African American Slogan (1960’s)~
Beauty is skin deep. I will not apologize.
I won’t apologize for having chocolate colored skin. I won’t apologize for not having “good hair”
Whatever the fuck that means.
There are many days when I truly feel sad for being on this Earth, as a black woman, but there are days that I have been very proud to be who I am.
I am a creative...

Dark-Skinned Beauty & A Sparkling Eye
Dark-skinned beauty with wide eyes and a big smile lips so soft and brown and sweet.
Skin that is so smooth and soft.
Curves so smooth …soothing jeans that hold tight to her skin, and her shirt grips tight to her strong bold chest. She walks down the street and is looked up and down, glances of good and bad.
Her big smile seems inviting but in her heart there is sadness. Because she...

Why do i miss you?
I cannot even express myself to you Because you want me to remain silenced.
I hand you my heart on my sleeve and all you do is turn your back on me. I don’t understand you, You refuse to open you heart to me, and you shield me from Your mind.
What good are you to me but to bring constant sorrow. And yet I yearn for your simple touch, smile and voice. This love/hate situation is getting...

It was a warm afternoon in New York City; the humidity of the weather was so high, even the trees were dripping with sweat. Debbie and Phebe were walking down the street of 5 Avenue, when they both stopped to look into Tiffany’s window. Debbie shaking her head starts to pull out a cigarette from her leopard skinned...

A Poem of Reckless Thoughts
Journeys are many, some literally in the sense of travel and some internal. Dreamers are often misunderstood, and seek true meanings to their dreams. These are things we cannot help.
Perhaps I need another listener in my life. Or perhaps the listener I need is within me. In my heart I have traveled through time. Here in present, there, past, furthermore, future.
There are too many...

Music is my Backbone...
Your sweet sounds of rhythm and blues moves my very center. I am in a trance as I fall prey to your commands of dancing, moving, becoming one with your beat.
You call to me and bring out my every emotion. You can make me cry, laugh, angry, your can even frustrate me. I adore you love, I adore you.
I have even attempted in creating your creative movement, but have only come so close.
You...
My Yin Yang Spirit
Upon these steps I sit reminiscing on the emotions my heart is feeling. I am in a state of utter awe, and I don’t know if I can move from this prison of endearment.
What do I do? What do I say? I remain here in a moment of prediction, in a moment of rude awakenings that slowly stunt my growth in this journey we call love. I don’t understand it, I just live within it, and let it consume my inner...
Interesting things about our future…and choices.
“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.” -Samuel Johnson (Rasselas: The Prince of Abyssina)-
When you think about your life, and the dreams you had for it, it seemed like you would be graced with a moments of joy and bliss, to be that princess or that knight in shining armor. To ride that brand new convertible under the palm...

Poetry’s Ambition
The subtleness of words effect the very aural of the soul’s emotions. Words in harmony of rhythm and prose. Dancing beautifully in the words of the mind.
The goal of this valiant artist,is the puncture the mind of the human, and to open our hearts. Day by day Poetry seeks a page with no purpose and scars it with words of rage,love, anger,hate, wisdom, and knowledge.
We as artists are the...

My Temple
My body is scared, I cannot allow u to enter here, until u can acknowledge my worth.
In this temple lies my heart. You’re not allowed to place your fire on my oiled center, that burns the flame to awaken my desire.
Come to me in your purest form, bring your innocence, knowledge, your open mind and soul.
When u come, u must come correct. Leave your views on what society says a woman is, and come...

Breathe
Inhale unscented air thorough the instruments that make music with the sounds of exhaling.
Taking in the moment, and excepting it for what it is and was. Pushing through the forest of denial, and taking in the hit of reality.
Burning my chest with it’s smoke of realism.
I cannot take in your negativity but I will take in your second hand fumes.
Tell me something reality, what makes you...
100 Words and a book in the making
I am conducting a new path this year, and one of my main goals, is to unblock my creative side. I have been on and off this spell of the creative block, and so I am starting on this small project called a 100 words a day. A website dedicated on helping artist (writers) in returning to their creative mind set. When I am done with the January batch I will display some of my work done over the...
Unsettled Silence
The endless sound surrounding me, pains my heart. White walls cage me in a place of endless awareness. I am crying out but no voice is heard.
Anger, hurt, abandonment, are soldiers assigned to guard my conscience. I cannot plead, I cannot pull away from my chains of iron hatred. Faith, has left, and love yearns not to come towards me and hope doesn’t even exist.
I have no desire to move, I...
Hidden Thought...
Today I spoke with a creative friend of mind and while trying to give her advice to help her current sorrows I managed to come up with a new quote. “Hope is the cloak to innocence, who is the skin of faith’s heart.” Not realizing, that I managed to come up with a new concept of faith and what it means to be innocent. I have written before on the concept of ones innocence being lost to a society...
Understanding
“The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” ~ J. B. Priestly~
Communication, is a word that is almost just as strong as the emotions of love and hate. Because it is the small element that is needed within both, in order of either of them to exist.
We as a society lack it in so many ways. How often do we really listen to the ones we love? There are so many...
Creativity
Creative Moments
A small light is seen in darkness first it starts off small then it starts to emerge into something stronger. The light starts to shine so bright, your eyes start to burn from it strong rays.
The warmth of its rays causes the soul to open it’s cages of wisdom. Sending ideas, thoughts of creation, thoughts of hope, thoughts of vision, into the mind, the brain of the soul.

Innocence
There was a lyric from Nelly Furtado song “Try” that always gets to me when I hear. “I wish I hadn’t seen all of the realness. And all the real people are not really not real at all. The more I learn, the more I learn, the more I cry, the more I cry, as I say goodbye to a way of life I thought I had designed for me.”
It makes me reminisce on all the times I was called innocent and naive. There...
Ungifted Grace
You have not even begun to feel the heat of my rage, for my rage doesn’t even describe the hot fumes that grace my endangered soul.
You are not obligated, privileged, been give the grace to omit your ideals upon my skull.
GET OUT!
You are not allowed to transcribe my ideals, my dreams MY vision. It is not your place to make a sound between your lips to describe WHO I AM.
That is for me , to...
Rebirth
There is shawdow that hovers over the east of the womb that has caged me into its overbearing grief.
I lay crouched into a position that protects my heart and lungs from any harm that may come upon my soul. Eyes shut from any existence of darkness that comes along into my mind when I think upon the doubts, fear, failure, and challenges, whose purpose is to destory that in which I have come into...
An Artist of Multiple Personality’s
I call myself the Artist of multiple personalities. An artist of self-expressions that surround the natural character of being a human being.
Each of my artistic talents contain a different concept of my inner self. A different passion that I have unleashed OR yet to unleash.
I am an actress of royalty, a photographer with a sublime eye. A writer with a view of the world, no, a writer...
The Beauty of Patience
The beauty of patience lies near.
Behind the corners of my unsuccessful relentless mind of battered joy Behind the innocence of what once was, am and could be. The present, past, and anonymous future, likes untold coming of age stories, has me in a bundle of golden rope touched by Midas, to restrict me from my already stunt growth.
I’m stricken down, I AM stricken down. My face hits the dirt...
