Write a story about: ‘A soldier falls in love with the daughter of the enemy’

“I’m sorry we can’t be together, my love. I dream about you every night. We share a deep passion that no one can take from us. I’ve been a warrior my entire life, but now that I know you, I just want to honor you. Your father runs my nation’s enemy, but you are so sweet. My attraction to you doesn’t see your lineage.”“We go to battle soon and I may not return. I pray to my Lord and savior that I…

One Night in Miami…

Excellent movie! If you haven’t watched it, please do! It takes place in February 1967…Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown and Malcolm X gathered after the fight where Cassius was named the champ. Malcolm X had begun introducing Cassius to the Nation of Islam, so his idea of an after party was conversation, meditation and prayer. Sam & Jim, however, would have rather been in a club with the…

Lily needed a roommate, fast! She didn’t want to post an ad, so she spread the word among her closest friends. ‘Savannah’s sister just got a job in the city. She needs a place! I’ll arrange it for you.’ Lily knew her friends would not steer her wrong. Rather than meet in public, Lily invited a few girls over for drinks and appetizers. Savannah brought Marissa; her sister, as her guest. The ladies…

Thank you for celebrating 50 years with us; Dr. & Mrs. Hellum Entourage!’ Hellum was dying to end the evening of fake smiles, so he can retreat back to his wooded bungalow with his new girlfriend. The 50 year marriage he is celebrating is with his wife Angelica. ‘Angie-Pangie’, as he calls her, dealt with Hellum and his…

He bites his lips when he looks at me. It’s apparent that he’s doing the best he can to maintain his composure. I admire his silent crush on me and I do my best to stay dressed when he comes to visit. My attraction to him isn’t a secret. However, I think I did a great job admitting it’s best we remain friends… It’s been a year since out friendship started. We celebrated an ‘anniversary’; the…

There’s a tunnel in town; designed for small trucks It’s a mile long… It connects to a residential neighborhood

There’s a tunnel in town; decorated in colorful stone It’s pretty and used lightly The beams are strong, structure has stability It’s only a mile long

There’s a tunnel in town and there’s a farmer moving in He bought the land on the opposite side of the tunnel The tunnel is in his…

Today, we slept in; he more in than me He works long hours during the week and his rest is important to me Today, we laid around; basking in each other, while being half dressed

It’s subtle; this…Us It’s different and comfortable… It’s Sunday, 2020

This afternoon, we ate cheese pizza, drank cold beers and walked around topless It’s Sunday, 2020, but I still made him read the Bible with me

I’M BAAAACK!!!!

Welcome Back! Welcome back to my blog and the contents of my brain. A ton has happened in the year since I’ve last posted. I’ve done a ton of reviewing of myself and relationships that I’m in. I’ve reflected on the ‘why’s’ and ‘how comes’ and I’ve realized that I cannot answer ‘why or how come.’

2o20 has been a trying year for the nation, the world. We all sat in our living rooms and watched…

HANG YOUR DRESS…

Hang your white dress in the closet In the back, to the right

I know you just purchased it We don’t want it to wrinkle

Hang your white dress separately  So, it will retain its sweet smell

I know you’re looking forward to wearing it We don’t want it to rot

Hang your white dress with care Like how you handled your heart

Gracefully, you selected your mate In the same manner, you chose your…

Breathe In…

Inhale… Exhale… Let it all escape… The big mistake, the long day, the leg pain and the headache

Clear your mind…. Gather your thoughts… Rest and regather your strength

Talk it out… Write it down… Handle it the best way you can

Inhale… Exhale… Contemplate your life… Are you doing enough? Could you do more?

Do it all… Despite the unknowing…. Do not quit…

Inhale… Exhale… Stretch your arms and your…

You used to make me smile and bring me joy

You were smooth to my soul like a latte with soy

You used to make bad days better

You brought balance to tipped scales and wore armor as if it were light as a feather

Good things don’t last forever

Good things will perish

But you made life appear sweet and clever

You used to bring sun on a cloudy day and rain boots for the storm

You used to be the…

One 20 minute situation could change the entire trajectory of the rest of your life…

One 20 minute situation could answer years worth of questions…

One 20 minute situation could shape your new outlook on one person, and put other things in a new perspective

One 20 minute situation could change your entire life. Will it be negative or positive?

My Best Friend (s)

‘Oh, this is my bestie.’ ‘Let me introduce you to my best friend.’ ‘My bestie has one of those.’ ‘One of my besties and I went to…’

These are all common phrases from my mouth and they describe not one or two people, but about seven or eight people who I hold dear to my heart. These common phrases describe wholesome, warm-hearted, strong-minded, funny, intellectual, attractive people and I am…

Parents….

Don’t stay together for the children…

It does more harm than you think…

Imagine thinking everything is fine and your family unit is tight, and later in life you find out it was a lie and there was no love and minimal respect. Imagine never seeing what true love looks like. Imagine not having a positive image of your family. Imagine hearing strong undertones and loud whispers. Imagine…
