Blessings of Birthdays…

Posted in Love tagged , , , , , , at 2:44 pm by Ms. Peaches

“Born in sound that’s where I’m found, with the disc going round and round and round…born in sound…that’s where I’m found…with the disc going round & round & round…” you know that tune if you’re Coltrane Conscious…and if you know me, you can hear me singing it! (ONE MIND)

 

Giving all PRAISES to Him who is MOST HIGH!!!! I thank God for seeing me through to another year. I am so blessed, I just made it to 26 yrs today and I couldn’t be in a better place. God is such an awesome God and seeing that I have been on my new coast for 3 weeks and 1 day I can’t say that I have any real complaints…the weather’s a little strange today and my allergies are attacking me with the vengeance but even that cannot make me feel like today is not MY DAY.

 

To all my friends and family, associates and etc…I thank you all so much for your happy birthday wishes, your bestowment of blessings and your thoughts of peace…I appreciate you all so much and wouldn’t be where I am today if God had not surrounded me by you! I love you all with all my heart and could never thank you enough!

 

“Born in sound, that’s where I’m found, Jesus my God, my Lord and Savior, thank you oh God, I praise your name…Jesus my God, my Lord and Savior…Born in sound…that’s where I’m found, with the disc going round and round and round…”

Whatever You Like

Anytime you want to pick up the telephone you
know that it ain’t nothin to drop a couple stacks on you
If you want it you can get it my dear
5 millions dollars homes drop the business i swear.
Yeah
I want yo body. I need yo body.
As long as you got me you won’t need nobody
You want it, i got it. Go get it, i’ll buy it
Tell them other broke niggas be quiet

-T.I Whatever You Like ©2008

I can’t lie I cant deny it I <3 this song. Not in the Kanye West gold diggerian sense, or in the Karine Stevens I hope I can get insert >>famous name here<< to break me off and pay my rent and eat off writing books about him later kind of way. But I love it. I simply adore the fact T.I. can talk about being nice to a girl that he likes. He’s not talking about the smackin, hittin, shaking, or jiggling of her body parts. While the song is no monument to the multifaceted she ra warrior goddess child rearing pant wearing educated talented woman (girl power!), I am pleased to hear something from mainstream hip hip that can talk about treatin a woman nice. Takin her out to eat and not going dutch or likening treating to tricking if you know what I mean. T.I.’s rhymes celebrate allowing a woman to chose her meal sh*t even the continent she eats it in.

Yeah, I told y’all niggaz
about god damn takin’ them hoez to the Cheesecake Factory
Lettin’ them hoez order strawberry lemonade and popcorn shrimps
They ain’t goin’ do nuthin’
but try to take all your motherfuckin’ cheese! (Yeah!)
-Big Boi (Outkast) We Love Deez Hoez (c)2008

I sometimes lament the fact that I am living in a world where doing something nice for a woman you care about is considered a sign of weakness, and that showing submission to a woman in any form is viewed as a chink in a man’s manly armor. When showing a woman NO LOVE is considered acceptable and even preferable I cringe, and the probability of my being able to procreate plummets along with the DOW and Wachovia’s stocks.

So next on my list of things to Bring Back is cordiality, affection, and the visual embodiment of that affection in a free meal or something shiny. Until this proposed renaissance occurs I will just day dream about it. (sigh…I wish I was Zaria from parenthood…a girls gotta have dreams!)

How many of us have done this?

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , at 5:12 pm by drdashsays

I was rummaging through some of my old poems and I found this poem. I call it Just Fine. How many of you have ever been so hurt by someone but tried to shake it off as though it didn’t bother you, knowing inside you are unsure if you were gonna make it through? Well here it goes

I really don’t know what to say
I mean how do I reply to the statement you made?
You finally admitted what I needed to hear
You’re happy with her, that makes your feelings for me
- very clear

I felt like I would die
I’m surprised I didn’t cry
Maybe I knew it all this time
So I’ll tell myself I’m feeling just fine

I am thoroughly confused
I’ve never felt so used
I wish I never met you
I wish that statment was true

I just really don’t know anymore
What were all my tears for?
You know, I was so sure

I thought that if I gave you enough time
Your heart would be mine
but I see that is not so and so I tell myself
-I’m feeling just fine

Victory

Look at me
Look at me

I am finally….Free!
The dark cloud has been lifted
and the sun has been released
I can stretch my limbs,
dance and sing
My spirit has been lifted
and my soul has been set free
I can’t even express
how good God has been to me
It wasn’t until I was at my darkest hour
that I realized how deeply He loved me
and now I stand here
on my own two feet
Giving Allah the glory
because he has rescued me

I now look forward to the sunrise
I wake up with a smile on my face
This feeling is so fantastic
that it could only be by God’s grace
I no longer feel sad
That man was not worthy to share my space
And I know God has someone in the woodworks
waiting to fill that man’s place
But in the meantime,
I find comfort
in my daughter’s warm embrace

It’s Definitely HIM…

Posted in Love, Poetry tagged , , , , , , , , at 10:42 pm by Ms. Peaches

Is it you I see, when I close my eyes?
Is it you that’s there by Gods surprise?
is it you that i’ve loved, before we even met?
Tell me that it’s you I’ll grow old with
once our eyes have met
I love you and I don’t even know who you are yet
I close my eyes, and all i can see
is the happiness and joys
you’ll one day bring to me
and me the same to you
Our souls connected as we’re spiritually interwined
and united by God’s light that led us down
the paths that we followed
to find one another
free at last from a fate unknown
becasue as Gods arms opened
and showed me love,
I saw you my soul mate,
my best friend, my man, my ture love
MY COMPANION
On this day, I say to you
with true appreciation, adoration
and all my love, ’til death do us part
I’ll forever be your Queen and you my King
Til we meet on that day of fate, my love
for you, I will joyfully wait…

Anew

Posted in Poetry tagged , , at 8:49 pm by drdashsays

I called you here today
to figure out a way
to explain to you
that I want to start anew

Now don’t mistake it
and don’t misinterpret
I’ve thought this through
And this is something I have to do

This time I know what I want
I know what I deserve
I know what to look for
I finally know my worth

And I wanted you to know
that I let it all go
and I forgive you
Let’s start anew

Here’s what we do
From here on out
Don’t speak my name
Don’t call my house

I’m going to walk away now
I suggest you do the same
You look a little puzzled
so let me explain

I called you here today
So I could finally say
I want to start anew
Just not with you

Official Welcoming…

Posted in randomness at 11:35 am by Ms. Peaches

I’d like to take the opportunity to officially WELCOME my first guest author…She has already created two new post. Her second post is a must read. I must say that I personally would love to hear the melody of her poem. It was very well written and seeing that she cannot sing I’d love to be the one to sing it. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy her post this week–Please feel free to comment on any post that are up we’d love to hear from you and get some feed back on how the site is progressing towards change.

forgiving and letting go

Posted in Poetry tagged , , , , , , at 12:28 am by drdashsays

It is said to truly forgive someone you must let go of the anger and the hurt and not dwell on the past. I believe that there are stages one goes through when ending a relationship, whether it’s with a friend or a lover. Those stages, in my opinion, are denial, followed by grief, anger, then a no mans land between anger and forgiveness, and then finally forgiveness. I am in the no mans land stage and am slowly but surely working my way towards total forgiveness. After I wrote this poem, I tried to read it aloud but I couldn’t, everytime I tried I ended up singing it (and I can’t sing, but ask me if that stops me LOL!) that has never happened to me before, which is how I know this one touched me very deeply. This is part of my healing process

I DON’T BLAME YOU

I don’t blame you for walking away
I don’t blame you for not wanting to stay
I am actually glad for both you and me
for us to be together it was not meant to be
at times I still miss our family
But I don’t miss the pain that you caused me
I know you suffered because of me
But I loved you true and through very deeply

I don’t blame you ‘cause I understand
You never really learned how to be a man
I don’t blame you ‘cause it was justified
I forgave you each and everytime you made me cry
I don’t blame you for pushing me away
I know you’ve never been loved this way
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you

I don’t blame you for going astray
I don’t blame you for all the bad days
I know at times I made you cry
But it was because you hurt me so deep inside
I only wanted the best for me and you
But the harder I tried you gave me less of you
I did the best that I could do
But we weren’t strong enough to pull through
and I don’t blame you

I don’t blame you ‘cause I understand
You never really learned how to be a man
I don’t blame you ‘cause it was justified
I forgave you each and everytime you made me cry
I don’t blame you for pushing me away
I know you’ve never been loved this way
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you

I don’t blame you because I let you do it
I don’t blame you ‘cause I pushed you to it
Everytime that you took me through it
I forgave you even though it hurt to do it
I compromised myself and my beliefs
Too many nights where I couldn’t sleep
I gave you the best of me
But what’s done is done I have nothing left in me

I don’t blame you ‘cause I understand
You never really learned how to be a man
I don’t blame you ‘cause it was justified
I forgave you each and everytime you made me cry
I don’t blame you for pushing me away
I know you’ve never been loved this way
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
