sit down, but don't get comfortable






















love,
now that you’re here (again, I think
) if it’s you,
then sit down,
but don’t get comfortable.
i wanna get to know you.
i wanna have a heart to heart
i wanna know if what I heard is true.
but first,
i wanna know how you found me?
i had my number changed to a non-published number.
quit my job-
gave no notice.
moved to a different country in the middle of the night-
left no forwarding address.
i even cancelled my credit cards.
i told no one.

assuming you are who you say you are,
i wanna know why u took so long to get here?
i’ve been deceived before by others
who have pretended to be love
for some personal gain
so, before I allow myself to get excited
before I wake up tomorrow morning
with you on my mind
before people tell me they see a glow about me,
understand why I’m cautious.
so,
sit down
but don’t get comfortable.
let’s have a conversation
talk to me.
and be honest.

please

Right Here

From experience,


there will always be some1
who will be taller
leaner
richer
faster
stronger
maybe even better looking than me
but I can’t be worried.
I won’t be worried.
I won’t look over my shoulder.
I know my worth;
I’m not the best,
I’m not perfect,
but you will find me doing
what others in your past have failed to do:
 striving
                always
 to be the best that I can be
to be perfect
for you.

Thank you

(

for
helping
me 
)

Now that you're back

You have left me
a
lone
and
while
alone
I faced the music

I listened
for the first time
to the lyrics
that hit so close to home
and inspired
me
made me smile
again
made me laugh

made me aware
that there is life
after you
as there was
before you.
now you are back with your confident smile
                                                                                        ----but I have my own now.

Thank you.

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
