There is just something about you
The curve of your brows,
The slide of your nose
The slant of your lips
The depth of your gaze.
It is always such a wonder when a new year comes around. It is a marvellous thing to be alive. To be breathing, to be thinking, to be feeling, to be sane.
Things may not always be perfect but it is incredible that we have strength in our bones, shelter over our heads, and food to eat.
Looking back at 2022, we see the grace and goodness of God layered heavily upon each day.
Thus, for this new year, let’s live in gratitude. Let our testimony always be
“This is a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, and a life that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. “ Amen
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM APOETSBRAIN UNIVERSE! IT’S A YEAR OF GRATITUDE, PEACE, AND GREAT UNENDING JOY!
~ Susan Sontag
Have you laughed? I mean really truly laughed.
You know the type that starts from your feet making your toes curl. That one that travels up your legs making them shake like a leaf in the wind.
That laughter that boils up in your belly like steam in an enclosed space looking for a way out. That one that literally causes you pain until you open your throat and let it all out and open.
It is always such a wonder when a new year comes around. It is a marvellous thing to be alive. To be breathing, to be thinking, to be feeling, to be sane.
Things may not always be perfect but it is incredible that we have strength in our bones, shelter over our heads, and food to eat.
Looking back at 2021, we see the grace and goodness of God layered heavily on each day.
Thus, for this new year, let’s live in gratitude. Let our testimony always be
“This is a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, and a life that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. “ Amen
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM APOETSBRAIN UNIVERSE! IT’S A YEAR OF GRATITUDE, PEACE, AND GREAT UNENDING JOY!

If we talked…
If we talked and I spoke sweet words…
If we talked and my words cradled your face like they were hands…
If you heard everything you’ve ever wanted will you truly be happy?
Or would you mimic me?
Whisper the words you want to hear to your self.
Cradle your own face with your own words. Continue reading Words

My hair and I are not always the best of friends.
We sometimes fight, and we sometimes make up.
She gives me all this work and all this trouble,
Yet I love her for what she is, and what she represents. Continue reading My African Hair

I feel it. In my chest, and in my throat.
As though a snail has lodged itself in my soul.
Sliding and slicing. Bringing with it poisons. Continue reading Heart Burn

Daily we fight wars for and against our fragile egos. Continue reading Ego My Dear

“Every lady has her own appeal…
Her beauty lies in the details.
Only those who have genuinely searched for it can find it.
Only those who have found it can try to comprehend the beauty that is her creation.Only those desperate to shelter it are deserving enough to grab onto the gold that holds the power to decorate one’s destiny.”
