I wouldn't mind it—
being the crayon color
that no one could name.

Remembering...
The way we were
A group of beautiful minds

Missing a group of people I use to write with.

Green peppers
Red peppers
Onions
and shallots
Get ready for some intense flavor to hit your pallets


A splash of vinegar
Salt
Chives
And garlic
Your tongue will dance for joy and actually seem to frolic

Epis
Sos Pwa
Rice
And baked chicken
The taste buds in your mouth wont know what hit them

Four hours later and I've enriched in my culture
I'm almost like a new woman
Because today I learned to cook food from my parents native nation
The time and effort was so very worth it
And now I feel a little bit more Haitian
Creole Translations:
Epis = herbs and spices
Sos Pwa Rouge = Red bean sauce puree

Reminder:
It's better to be losing her in books
than losing her to someone else.

Stretch mark
To stretch mark
From every hill and valley
From every blemish
That sparkle of love
Never faded from your eyes
In the worst light
And in the best
You still saw a woman
Whom you loved
And because of this love
Saw her as beautiful
Despite her flaws
And her thoughts
Of your undeniable attraction
You saw her bare inside and out
And believed she was beautiful
Because she was more than
Just a lover or friend
She was everything you wanted
And so she loved you too
Not because you loved her
Or because you thought of her as beautiful
But because you were honest
Because your soul
Was as beautiful
As you saw her to be
Because even as you frowned
Seeing you made her smile
And in turn she'd cheer you up
She loved you for all you did
Every moment you cared
And every moment she cared back
She loved the way you matched her
In every way humanly possible
She loved you the way you loved her
Always and forever
For you shared a love that was meant to be
A love that would go on beyond all.
And in it's path perhaps revolutionize
The way the world sees passion
And care and love
For if two people can see past flaws
And see something wonderful
Maybe everyone can find a love
That lets souls intermingle
And brightens each others world.


Love forever and always.

Alone I keep
All the lights
Off.
Ain't no
Sunshine
When
She's
Gone.
