Let Our Love

Nestled in the glow of our brown tones side by side,  Her curls ticked my nose, the softness of her cheeks warm my body. With her fists she gently beats on my chest and whispers “I just don’t want to be here anymore.”Had to pull her closer as my body silently rang back… “Me neither.”

I’ve held too many people as they weep for their lives. Thirsty for a reason to stay. Silently screaming. Floating on smiles saying “I’m fine” while everything within wants to die.

If you didn’t hear me  before please hear me now. We need you. Please love please don’t go!  Let’s make our love everything we need to survive.

Let’s love like we’re our own life rafts
built to survive the moments when the waves of sadness come crashing down. Just Let our love. Even when the weight of the world shallows our breaths and bends our backs into prayers and depression. We will find the strength to stand again through the doors unlocked by the moans of our sex magic. Let our love as our bodies collide, sing, and stir divinity together.

Let’s love like we’re our own foundation rooted in the beauty sparked
when our minds touch. My body aches to hear you speak in the moments when we merge. Let our love be our favorite melody in the key of healing. Soothing Restoring Creativity. Please don’t rob me of the freedom I feel when you sing to me. Just let our love carry us like the clever sting of a good read with the power of sharp words.

Love, please hear me now. I need you to survive.
I’ve held too many people as they weep for their lives. Thirsty for a reason to stay. Silently screaming. Floating on smiles saying “I’m fine”  while everything within wants to die.  Love please don’t go. Let’s be everything we need to survive.

Full Moon in Pieces got me all in my feelings.

Was telling her how much I miss her and this happened…

I can’t wait to kiss your lips and hold you close

feel you relax in my arms

In those moments we merge.

and its an honor being your safe space.

I don’t mind getting lost in you from time to time

My heart needs a regular dose.

Let me escape within our bond.

I need to escape into our love

It reminds some of the most broken parts of me

theres no healer like our black queer love

Theres no love like the melodies I feel in the arms of you…

a beautiful Black Womyn.

We are fun and around the way like FreshRootbeer

Country and comforting like Pickled Okra

Quirky and Dorky like GumbBall Cartoons.

Can’t wait to celebrate our love in person again soon.

Everyday Magic is She

Nurses are magical people

You think Sabrina

You think Tabitha

Naw

that’s funny?

That’s sexism

And no it ain’t even  Hawthorne

Aunt Tee

Grandma

Your big cousin

Sister Nicki

And Aunt Joyce

every day folk magic is she.

Not a twinkle of the nose or chat with a black cat

But “bay can you,”

“baby I love you but you knew what you were doing when you did that. “

Them nonchalant spitting wisdom flexing like a Master teacher

just keepin it real cause that’s all they know, magicians.

They know how to tell you and show

At the same damn time.

Womanly manly transcending wisdom

They know your feelings before you feel them

The embodiment of the remedy.

Prayer, love, truth, and wish less ness.

Vibrating with feelings so strong

So strong

it snaps you out your foolishness

Our healers, Our mothers, our prayer warriors,

Our Nurses are magical people

You think Sabrina

You think Tabitha

Naw

that’s funny?

That’s sexism

And no it ain’t Hawthorne either

Aunt Tee

Grandma

Your big cousin

Sister Nicki and  Aunt Joyce

Our mothers are amazing

the best nurses I’ve known

every day folk magic

Is she.

Not a twinkle of the nose or chat with a black cat

But a humming hymn,Warm hug, sock it to me cake, shot of gin, or sprinkle of holy oil when needed

When they said everything would be alright we believed it.

When they survived then loved  to tell their story

the healing we received it.

Our mothers are amazing

the best nurses I’ve known

in the shadow of their pain

through the power of their love

everyday magic are we.
