A Simple Complexity? or a Complex Simplicity?

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , , , , , , at 4:58 pm by Ms. Peaches

“It should all be so simple…but you’d rather make it hard…it’s like a battle, and we both end up with scars…” (if you don’t recognize those words…think The MisEducation of Lauren Hill). That tune is so more than appropriate right now in my life.

Drama, is it a simple complexity? or a complex simplicity? What do you do with it? where do you put it? how do you get away from it? When does it all just cease to exist and completely leave you alone…? I think never. It dies down but the effects of it seemingly linger and grab a hold of whatever is found loose in its path.

Today I am to a point where there is no more effort on my part. There is no more concern…I simply don’t care. You reap what you sow, and if the seed you are sowing is bad seed, in return you will get bad seed.

In current society it is so hard for people to own up to how their own actions have caused what exist around them. A good friend said to me…”you only know about it cuz you’re being told about it…if you remove that part of the equation, you won’t even have to hear about it…” sounds so simple, right?

I don’t know if that’s right or not…I don’t know what to believe about anything. More story has been shed to me and nothing is adding up…I have my own speculations now of what is going on and for the sake of drama going away I am going to keep them to myself. But someone is really all up in my business and I’d like them to kindly see their way out…

INSECURITES

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , , , at 11:48 am by Ms. Peaches

It’s so funny to witness all your insecurities
It’s all amusing to me how you let all of me
get a good hold on all your inabilities
It’s obvious to see that you’re insecurities
Have made you weak, Is it accurate to say
That your insecurities have you stalking me
It’s more than plain to see that you’re
Jealous of all that I be and it’s okay
I’m stuntin on a level that you’ll never reach
It’s more than funny you see cuz your
Insecurities only effect you not me
Childish and immature, a lot to learn
For you is in store, but remember your
Insecurities don’t have you naggin me
I only, wonder, why your insecurities
Are so deep…maybe there’s more to
the story that hasn’t been revealed to me
Not for one second should you think
That I need to be on a creep, I love
Myself to much to ever disrespect to me
It’s a pity you see that you’re insecurities
Have made me the bane of all that exist
In you…all the while I am secure
And confident in all that exist to be me

Blessings in Disguise?

Posted in Love tagged , , , , , , at 3:09 pm by Ms. Peaches

I just got done reading the most current blog post of a good friend of mine…and WOW women across the board seem to be having the same types of issues when it comes to males. I find it all to be so disheartening. And many kudos to the men out there that, for a lack of another way of putting it, “keep it REAL.”

I’ve recently been surrounded by a few women who have been so badly heart by the men they allowed to enter into their lives and that they allowed themselves to be emotionally bound to or maybe vulnerable to…I believe that is of course for a reason and maybe that reason is so that we can learn from one another’s coping methods.

I refuse to be a scorned woman…I refuse to hate the man that I allowed myself to be emotionally vulnerable to because it didn’t work out. He’s truly a good person, he just made some not so great choices in dealing with our “Friend-lationship.”

I’ve been commended by a few on how I have dealt with it all and by my choosing to remain really good friends with him. But you know the good book says to forgive and to forgive quickly…I by no means hate him…I want for him to be abundantly happy, actually. As women and men we can’t harbor ill feelings for what someone in a past relationship may or may not have done to you because it keeps you from moving on. When you fail to forgive you are only holding yourself hostage. And sorry to say that just is no good!

Women out there if you’ve been hurt count it all joy it may just have been your blessing in disguise…or maybe you were just supposed to be friends with that person and nothing more…All in all don’t beat yourself up over it or hold him in contempt for any decisions he made that had an ill effect on you…it’s not worth it.

Why is there DRAMA?

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , , , at 4:44 pm by Ms. Peaches

Have you ever tried to rid yourself of certain aspects of situations but every time you turn around it’s something new? I just don’t get it. The best business in the line of business is to mind YOUR OWN business. Why so many people become infected with the need to stir around in business that is not theirs is beyond me.

I can’t stand drama and as of lately it seems to be following me around like I’m it’s new best friend…after I put out the flames to one fire here comes another and I just don’t want to deal with it. I am indirectly being tagged in a game of freeze tag that I was never offered the option to play in. The irony in that…I guess since my name has never been in anything before now folks are latching on cuz what? This is a new point in history? Something like this won’t ever come about again? Grow up! Let’s be proactive not reactive…

I just need space, away from everybody and everything…DRAMA is not healthy…being in other peoples business is not healthy…it creates unwanted stress for everyone…and I simply don’t want it! So get out of MINE!

More Than Just…

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , at 2:43 pm by Ms. Peaches

in my dreams, you more than, just exist
you’re more than just some worldly wish,
you are my future, you are my man
my hot coco on a rainy day, you’re
my chocolate M&M’s, my Pecan Truffle,
my cold drink of water, on any thirsty day
in my dreams you are more than just my man
you’re my love, my one day husband

My love puppy, my hope renewed
you’re handsome smile, drives me wild,
the butter to my toast, the flames
that light my fire, you’re the crown royal,
on top of my ice, I float in all that makes you

your smooth brown skin, your full sensual lips,
your strong hands and muscular build,
your natural warmth, your comforting hold,
Our love something only God can mold,
your swagger so bold, truth be told, you’re
more than just my dream, you’re a reality
I’ve seen, you’re more than I imagined to complete me
you’re more than, just…my man…

Protected: Our Memories…

His Master Piece

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , , , at 11:28 am by Ms. Peaches

it’s the deepness of his brown
the smile that draws you in,
sista, I tell you, this art work
just welcomes, even sucks
you in…

it’s the structure of his stature
the definition that sets the tone
his strength never stops
turning me on

it’s the fullness of his lips
that creates the silkiness in
my lower hips, I’m feigning him
like he’s my drug and I’m his addict

it’s the look in his eyes, when that
dark brown meets with mine,
the pureness of his soul, I see,
every time he’s looking back at me

it’s the real beauty he holds
and carries so bold, his swagger
is something sexy that words
can’t explain, when it sets in
and warms me, I’m never cold

it’s the art work of him
that creates this priceless
master piece, that all of
me recognizes him to be…

His Sexy Appeal…

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , , , , at 9:29 am by Ms. Peaches

From the bottom to the top
there is not one spot of him
that doesn’t make me hot

I get weak in the knees
when he breathes me in
I inhale his ectasy
when he’s near me

His strong arms pull
me in and he holds me close
he sleeps so somberly
while he intentionally holds me

when he caresses my skin
his every touch fills me with
love not lust, as I watch
him I simply take a mental
memory of him with me

From the fullness of his lips
to the definitions of his arms
from that sexy pelvic V, I know
his body is calling out to me

When he smiles, I smile
with nothing but astounding joy
if I could hold on forever
I would never let him go
he and I would be together
loving one another until
the end of forever…

Are u Black and Single?

Posted in Love, Social Settings tagged , , , , , at 8:56 am by Ms. Peaches

Dr. Ronn Elmore is the lead minister over the singles ministry and the lead of marriage counseling at the church I attend. Monthly there are these meetings for the “Rock Solid Singles Ministry.” This man of God is awesome and our meeting last night was recorded for the special that is to premier on CNN on the 23rd of this month called “Black in America.”

I wasn’t really sure what to expect at this seminar, but I was hopeful to walk away with some useful tips if nothing else. There are so many tools and strategies that Black singles don’t possess and that is part of the reason for the high statistics that exist in our community.

45% of single Black women want to get married and 48% of single Black men want to get married…Those stats are crazy. I help make up those stats! Dr. Elmore has a series of books out andd the newest one is called “No Non-Sense Dating.” Women and men alike have so many misconceptions about the opposite sex and have built so many barriers due to things that may have effected them in past relationships and these are hinderences to successful relationships.

I’m not certain that I’ve always done things “right” in my past and current relationships but I do know that I will not be doing the wrong things anymore.

An Illusion of Confusion

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , , , at 10:56 am by Ms. Peaches

Confusion, please let this just be an illusion
but reality brings to me with sincerity, not
clarity that what I see and what I feel is so
real…unimagined, unaware, what is it that
makes you have to be so…

Lacking, sent packing and all so you could
feel that what you’ve lost is just a thought
moved forward without finishing what
you started, before, and now you can’t ignore

It’s yesterdays past, but so strongly today’s
present and on the past I wrote to you
a dear John letter that I thought would
bring light and make things bright
but the subject matter so tattered and
old it seems even more now so bold

because the things I share are not things
untold but things you’ve made my reality
when you made it a point to disappoint
yourself and more over me

I’m glad you see, & to not be she
as I know I don’t have to compete
with uncertainty to this confusion that’s
really not just an illusion
but an intrusion on my minds eye

for the heart never lies
and what was thought to be
an illusion is just your
confusion over chosen what’s
really all just…simply put
a bold faced illusion

for you needed a conclusion…
