Swirling and twirling to the
rhythm of your savage rapture,

Painstakingly "dancing" my heart out,

I attempt to sway this distress away.

Loving you is like
an eternal psychedelic experience,

Forever in your afterglow I parch!

REAL TALK

Naked Truth!

89 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all had a wonderful weekend!

It’s time to kill the “Monday Blues” with some Real Talk and SELF REALIZATION!

While I was callously looking around for something “substantial” to read on FaceBook this weekend (wonder what are the chances of dong that! LOL!), I stumbled across a captivating story about “NAKED TRUTH” by John Van Zeist. Predictably (without a doubt), as soon as I read the story, I had a deep urge inside of me to share it on my blog – for y’all to read. Because YES in all honesty, this story really-really hits home for all of us!

TRIGGER WARNING – This article, or the page that it links to, contains an image that might be unacceptable to some. I apologize, but “blurring” out the image did not feel quite right as I wanted this post to be as true as the original one, without any reformations and fixings.

The Pink Kind Of Love

68 Comments

iScriblr_love

If we could buy love,
I would pick me up a bright pink one,
The one with frills, meshes and laces,
And a hint of shimmering-sunny ribbons.

I would forever carry that love in my heart,
For precious to me it will be,
No, I would not, never trade it,
On him I'll never cheat.

Flaunting my peachy love around,
I will bask in the righteous glory of pride,
Wearing my love on my sleeves,
I promise, I'll do him good till I die.

Such love is complicated to find, 
No stores in stock have it any more,
No burgundies, no maroons will my heart mend,
Only the pink ones have my cure.

If you happen to find my "pink" love, 
Will you keep it safe for me?
Tell him that I loved him,
I am sorry, together we couldn't be!
