Thank you @blackpeoplewhohike for allowing me to be part of these historic moments and true change in the outdoor spaces for black/brown people. This NPT ( National Park Tour ) is so essential to creating our narrative of “what being black really can be”. I first came into this opportunity ready to work. The energy was so pure and refreshing I hadn’t realized how much healing I needed from this experience. Just from being outside and hiking in @acadianps too feeling and being around so much black joy. The one word that stuck with me this whole trip was “SAFE”. The unity of my people truly allowed a space for everyone to be happy and joyous! I’ve met so many long lasting friends and partnerships. Having the chance to work with @subaru_usa , @phil.makini_studio , @rozalyn_powell , @joshyoutrippin , @poeticportals and @anawanstudios is nothing less than an honor. I’m forever grateful @blackpeoplewhohike until the next time ! (at Acadia National Park, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0QDyXuRQO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I could write a poetry to describe my love for you,

I'd have to find every word that rhymes with blue

Because that's what I see when I look at the sky,

That's what I see when I look in your eyes.

Blue and pretty, like the ocean I'd drown in

Your face is so pretty, so why are you frowning?

I would write about your laugh,

How it fills the void in my heart

I'd write about your pain,

How I'd willingly carry it with mine.

My love for you is blue

With a tinge of red,

Sparks of amber fly

Whenever I'm in your embrace.

I love the way we laugh

And dance without a care,

My love for you wasn't pure

But it was everything.

Except enough.

If I could write a poetry about my love for you,

I'd pour my heart out in a million pages,

I'd use tears and blood and every thing to prove myself,

But you'd still be gone. You'll still leave. You left

.

My love for you wasn't enough. Not for you.

It was for me.

Why?

Only for Tonight

You make love to me with your hands You play with me with your fingers You spin me round and round with your mouth And in that sweetest spot your tongue lingers

You dance with your body the bed is your stage The music that enthralls me is from every move that you make You make love to me even with the look in your eyes as you begin to descend and worship me through the night

The stars are our witness for the passion that we shared will end when we wake up when morning comes unheard I love you for tonight and this one night alone You had me on your stage but never in your home.

Her

‪i could talk about the way she made me feel all day long, i had spent days and nights day-dreaming of the spontaneous adventures i longed to have with her‬

with my bare imagination, i could outline on a blank canvas the shape of her torso all the way down her hips

or the way her face lightened up when she shyly smiled

god knows how jolly my days would be with her divine presence

god knows she would be the cause of my sanity as without her, my heart turns wild and i lose my sanity unable to control my emotions and endlessly longing for love only she could give me

joy, only her eyes could give me, and freedom only she could grant me.

for her i would steal the sky a million times and over

for the joy she gives me has no price,

i would leap over mountains and cross oceans to simply listen to her speak of all her anime fantasies and all her favorite characters, to listen to her dreams and all the weird food combinations she loves.

Vibrations

I know you love her but for god sake; will you put that phone away.

She is stealing all my light

(Time).

I filmed a movie in my head of us. Each scene a memory. It plays over and over again. I can stop, pause, and rewind.

Gone are the days

The sunshine filled with flowers at our feet,

We've stepped into the wilderness

Of forked paths and misspelled signs

And separate paths have presented themselves

Right in front of our aching feet

And as we step forward

We leave it behind

each other and our thoughts as we make space for new memories

And knowledge and wisdom, hoping its worth it in the end

;

So this is where we say goodbye

After all we've learnt together, the chapter of you and me is over

Now's time to write it on our own

I'll continue writing mine

For as long as I can hope

I'll write about my winters and my summers and all the seasons that come in between

And most importantly I'll write about a color that reminded me of your eyes and a tune on the bus that made me think of you and I'll write how I smiled and instead of missing you I just went by.

And that's what time does I guess

You remember them, you remember them well. Their favorite color and their birthday and the one memory from their childhood they told you about in the middle of an incomplete conversation

And you love them, the same. If not more. Because you finally know what they were worth.

But you don't miss them.

And I won't miss you.

I don't miss you

.

So this way I'll go, and you take the other road. And we'll just be two stars who crossed paths, a beautiful chapter full of tales made of star dust and lessons learnt.

But the road's over, our paths intertwined and now they've untangled.

We have much to learn. But sadly not together.

And so goodbye

I'll remember you

I'll love you

But I won't miss you.

In time

and that my love will be moving on.

I cut out my heart

And let the blood drip in the waters

The darkened tides ebbed away and away

I emptied myself that night

Yet as I lay here

I

Feel

everything

All at once.

And nothing

In waves

I cut out my heart

My ribs ached

My soul whispered for release

I watched as the water turned so dark,

The shadows hid away

I felt my veins

Go dry

But these eyes

Oh, these eyes

I needed them to flow

Show me

I care

I couldn't cry

I didn't,

Right?

Because if I did, someone would've been here.

Picking me up. Sewing me up

Cloistered birds don't fly too far from home

Yet here I am

Stray

Lost

.

I wonder if I ever felt love,

If the wind ever truly carried my name across seas and oceans

I wonder

If

She

Ever

Loved me.

It's happening,

Again.

I feel myself jumping into this

Sea

Ocean

Pool

Of sadness whose depths are still unknown to me

I always come ashore, I make it out

I find myself coming out, dripping wet

And standing there in the sun drying myself

And I squint at the day light, a little startled

because I could've sworn it was dark when I went in

And I feel this burst of energy;

Of everything.

But then I take a step forward, and jump right back in

And the fear grasps me by me hand, its so delicate yet firm,

I want to let go but I find myself clinging harder

What if I dive deeper? What if I go in

And in

And then I don't come ashore?

I want to feel the sun,

I want that burst inside me;

I am tired of swimming but I can't give up just yet.

Somebody take me far from this

Sea

Ocean

Pool

Somebody fill it up with cement,

Or love

Or light.

I'm back here, I'm still searching it's depths;

for the person I used to be

For my dreams that seem far away,

That drowned aeons ago

I miss her

Tell her that

I still can't see the floor, how deep is this?

If I cut open myself in here and pour out all the thoughts and faces that keep me afloat,

Will I be free?

Or will I be lost?

Is this in my head? Or have I lost that already

Persistence of Paranoia

Dark shadows are hanging over me

It seems they can never leave me alone

And that elusive tranquility

Is something I can never call my own

Sleeping peacefully at night

Is nothing but a distant dream

For hard as I try to see the light

I can always hear the echo of your scream

Soft touches that could have healed my heart

Now feel like punches that bruise my skin

Hugs and kisses now tear me apart

And what could have been home traps me from within

I cannot find myself if the wound you gave me is still there

I cannot love myself if my fear of you is greater

I cannot care for anyone if the persistence of paranoia is everywhere

And I cannot face you now if I become a fighter only later

If this sadness is a wave just passing by

Why has it not gone away?

Or am I under water and the the waves just keep coming and I'm holding on to the breath I took but it's slowing leaving

I'm trying to go towards the light, there really aren't chains bounding me but nothing feels heavier than my heart

The world's for the taking but my soul is too heavy

I should've done this and should have done that

I shouldn't have done that and now it's over

Are my sins really that bad? That I could pour it into the ocean and the water turns to poison and suddenly everything turns to dust and the drought withers away for it is too ashamed

I am drowning. I think I died two years ago

I'm holding myself down, who else is to blame?

It's the guilt of having everything and throwing it away,

Of being presented with opportunities to only look the other way

It's the guilt of having done nothing with the gift of having air to breath in

It's the guilt that's seeping through the membranes of my heart and now it's flowing through my bloodstream and there you go,

I'm poisoned.

Is there an antidote?

Is it praying? I've done that and I still am

Is there anyone listening?

I'm overwhelmed by this wave

Go away now, I'm dead.

I am slowing spiralling downwards,

And I'm transcending laws of sanity

I am falling towards the abyss where my dreams are buried

I think this universe is a figment of my imagination. I am slowly becoming fragile and it's fading

If I could write a letter to fate and ask one simple question, would I get a reply?

Would it come knocking at my door to tell me, it's time?

I am lost in my own head. I'm slowly fading.

If death is a monster, then does that make me one too for I have never longed something more? But I am scared as well.

I don't actually want to die.

I don't want to stop existing

But I do.

I want to fade and slip away.

I feel too young to have these thoughts.

But I think I'll do more good that way than actually staying.

And that's what I really want. Do good.

Do something

So that the people who I love have a chance at being proud of me. But all I do is disappoint.

When will you realize that you and I belong together

We may be toxic for one another but living another day with you is painful

The pain eats me away day by day

The moons calls to me at night, reflecting all our memories

The frosty cold night breeze prickles through my skin, reminding me of our romantic walks by the park and how you kissed me breathlessly as if I was your oxygen

I caught a glimpse of her dark soul and a taste of her poisoned lips ever since then, my soul has been mourning her absence and crying for more
