Brown Skin Gyal

Another treat.......for all the Brownings and lovers of Brownings.

Enjoy.

BROWN SKIN GYAL

Brown skin gyal

Flesh like coffee liberal with milk

And brown sugar

Rich and strong

Each crystal its own story

Her voice

A lustful kind of talk formed by

Her accent, full in my ears

Like the curve of her hip and breasts in my eyes

Everything soft and bright

Yes the one brown skin gyal

Wrap up my mind with her words

Like artist manipulate

Dot and line

She tie me up, just so, with a tongue like rope

Watch my head spin

As she daze me with her lilting laugh

Wooing smile and dark eyes

Her eyes and mouth

The sinful picture

She sit with long skirt

A fibred silhouette

Of powerful legs

Every inch full of presence

Like some sort of present

Wayward gift

Head in cloud and smoke

While the rest of me scorch

Like magma make igneous rock

Fine particled and dark from heat

I don't talk; all time must stop

Because the girl I need to understand

All five of both senses meet with one more

She always get it

Most time just right

The girl, heavy

For she weigh me down like

Leaded feathers stuck to

Impressions in honey

Complete with bee and sting

All the while innocent

Like she don't know

I gone foggy, or maybe just gone

Like old bedspring

Or use rubberbands

All things with a purpose done

Still useful simply for existence

As the interpretation she have

Change all this junk

To her own little treasure.

Peace and love.

Light of Weight

This poem is one of my favourite pieces.

Coincidentally I entered it into the Valentine's Poetry Contest they had at my workplace and won :)

So I'm sharing it with my lovelies. Enjoy (and as always please leave a comment).

LIGHT OF WEIGHT

To have you compared

To the lightest touch

To think of you as the first brush of lips

In two's first kiss

Everything of excitement and anticipation

Of a brush of fingers

To the soft blush of cheeks

When all there is

Is Us

And the smallest breath

Feels more intense

Because there is no air

For one breath, omnipresent

Like the softest whisper

Is all we listen to hear.

Peace & Love.

xoxo

Valentine's Day......seriously???

Tweet

Earlier this week I had a very interesting conversation with one of the girls at work. Someone suggested that we stage a "Best Red Outfit" competition for Valentine's Day. I loved the idea, not because I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day or anything but because I thought it would be a fun, whimsical thing for us to do.

Well, of course the push-back from most persons was enormous. Most of the group had an issue with the whole idea. And it led me to think to myself "Why do we always take ourselves so seriously?" So what if you're wearing red on Valentine's Day? You'll seem like you're "conforming" to a silly idea, people may tease you about it a little? You don't need to be in love, in a relationship or even like someone at that point in time. You don't need to make such a big effort to wear black or psych yourself up to be depressed for an entire 24 hours on February 14 either, because you are surrounded by the capitalist permutations of love in the form of hearts, flowers, "Be mine" sweeties, flavoured chocolates and cheesy red and white teddy bears (or other lovey-dovey looking stuffed creatures). We live in a world where there are so many crises that maybe pandering to a silly occasion once in a while would do a lot to take the edge off.

When I had initially started this blog, I wrote a post about Valentine's Day and made some suggestions about not doing the obvious. After all things in life are what YOU make them. So it's ok to wear red, it's also ok not to. Best suggestion I've heard since Valentines fever hit late January was from a lady in a store saying she didn't have a boyfriend or husband, but she decided that if there's a day centred on the premise of love that she's going to take that day to give herself a treat and show herself some love because she's worth it. And why not? You need to love YOU first.

Btw, as a reminder-------> go read some other thing's that you can do on V-Day.

Peace & Love.

For my Tweeties

Tweet

Lately, I've gotten caught up in the whirlwind that is social media....esp. Twitter.

I spend a good portion of my days tweeting random things or engaged in full-on conversations. And perhaps one of the most positive things which have happened as a result is that I have grown closer to people whom I knew in passing for the most part and have learnt to appreciate them in ways I probably would never have had it not been for the daily banter shared through Twitter.

The site facilitated conversation without the pressure of having a statement directed at you all the time while allowing you to gain an understanding of people's quirks, likes, dislikes and habits. But above all, it opened a door for me to engage with amazing persons who will I am sure do great things one day. But Twitter or not one principle remains the same, getting out there (whether in a tangible space or on something less so like a timeline) you'd be truly surprised at how much more enriched your life will become because of the people you interact with.

Sociology nerd footnote: this is one aspect of globalization (i.e increase in mediums and ease of communication) that I will definitely not complain about :)
