How can I take a leap and dive
When your water can’t even cover my thighs?
I’m talking about saving lives
But you talking about your eyes
And your vision
Of what makes me fine
But like a fine wine
I stand throughout time
So “fine” sounds absurd
If you’re looking for a word
That fits my physique
How about great and complete
Those words describe
Me.
I am God’s creation
With no mistakes
He dipped me in honey
And labeled me masterpiece
Gave me a mind to make decisions
And 20/20 vision for precision
I chose to bury my face in books
So if your think tank stops at my ass
Then you may want to leave or just simply pass
And try your luck with another lady
Cause your pool is no deeper than 5 feet
I’m an Amazon
And need an ocean to understand
My complexities
And gifts
As a woman
But you can only see through your birds eye view
Thinking I was created as a trophy just for you
To collect dust over time
I’m a God’s piece
Never been a dime
So my light shines too bright
To keep me out of sight
So I’ll just maintain
My single status in this game
Cause I can’t let you claim
My light…I shines too bright
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold. Who knows how to hold you without being told. Somebody tell me why I’m on my own, if there’s a soulmate for everyone.”-from “Soulmate” by Natasha Bedingfield
True story yo…
True… true story. I tell you no lies folks…if I didn’t live it, I wouldn’t write it.
Maybe I should preface this…maybe I won’t.
I don’t know what happens after you turn 25. You can’t have a decent conversation without someone giving the pregnant pause, a slight giggle, and then the long drawn out, “Soooooooo how’s your love life?” Some folks are respectful and wait until the end of the conversation to ruin the mood. Others lack tact and jump straight in. I have to believe that yall aren’t being malicious people. I have to believe that curiosity is the thing driving your cats to commit suicide.
I have to believe that you don’t see me cringing as soooo slips from your lips, out into the airwaves, and into my eardrum. Even more disconcerting is the standard dry “Oh,” that comes after I say….besides the fact that I love life, ain’t much poppin off in that department. That’s right people…nothing to see here…keep it moving.
This sounds bitter. It’s not. I think love and relationships are a beautiful thing. The merging of beings into a unit…that’s real sweet right. We all choose our own pills. Some of us are serial daters, and some of us are serial monogamist. Some of us are hopeless romantics, and some of us ain’t got commitment of any type of in us. You just be the best you that you can be, okay.
“Love life” has a very important term in it. That’s right…life. Life is filled with ups and downs. Blessings. Losses. Happiness..Grief. You catch my drift? So why shouldn’t one’s “love life” follow the same patterns of any other axis of life.
I get why people ask though. Besides the fact that yall are nosy as hell (LOL), people are in love with the idea of love. The more reckless the better, with a side of extra spicy details. Tales of wild exploits, lust, romantic abandon, and some good lovin…YES! Get Fabio involved and you’ve got a good ole romance novel (batteries not included).
Wanna hear my romance novel…here it goes…
I found out two weeks ago that a mother chucker (thank you for my new favorite term Gossip Girls) that I’ve been seeing off and on for almost 3 years (more off than on) has a daughter that will be 4 in October. Yep. I didn’t know that toddlers/pre-schoolers grew on trees, but he is living proof that anything is possible.
“Since I’m feeling you
And you’re feeling me
Then I’m willing to take the chance
And show you what a true woman
Is all about
And we’ll see how things play out, oh”
My product of the month darlings is Cantu Soft Shea, Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream. Can I tell you it’s like a peace pipe for a natural sistas hair. I think applying this great smelling, light cream to my hair on a daily basis is the best part of my hair regimen. I discovered this product by accident after Garnier Fructis mysteriously discontinued their Curl-n-Shine Leave-In Creme. It’s been my love drug ever since. I love the way it makes my hair feel…deliciously soft and supple. I can event admit the fact that… I find myself playing in my hair randomly throughout the day, counting down the hours until I re-up. *sigh* Be careful ladies…gentleman are known to randomly fondle Cantu treated hair….and you’ll love every second of it.
Miss Sol Angel herself blessed the internet with more promo pics via her blog. Solange, who has proven to be (well, i’ll say publicly cause i heard she’s a bit of a snit) way more down to earth, “accessible”, and dare i say, human than her mega star sister Beyonce, will release her much anticipated sophomore album SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams August 26th. I’ll cop it. How ’bout you?
Click the pic to check out Estelle’s video for Pretty Please featuring my uncle Cee-Lo. Look out for appearances Jackie Long (with his fine ass), Taraji Henson, Aubrey O’Day (random), and Malik Yoba (could still get it).
