  • New Life

    What is blooming in my Life?

    As I sit down to write this, so many things run through my head. But the simplest and yet deepest answer is me.
    I am blooming. My true self is finally peeking through. Before trauma, I was me. Me before the abuse. Me before I realized I wasn’t loved by the people I loved. I before the hurt. Me before the pain. Me before depression. Me before anxiety. It’s like my soul has gone home. I am secure in ways I never thought possible. The impostor syndrome is not as bad. I have more control over the things that I can control. I have locked in with my purpose. And I am coming out of the cocoon I have been hiding in for so long. Yes, I still have troubles, but the peace that is in my soul with the ebb and flow of life’s river is something I simply can’t fully explain. I am filled with gratitude, and I honor the Most High to the fullest because I realize now. That every death I experienced to get to this point, every pain, every ache, every heartbreak, was so worth it.
    I look forward to the joys and pains of life because I am so much stronger than ever. Each experience allows me to go deeper within myself so I can then minister to people and help them heal. I don’t have to hide who I am or feel intimidated, and I am open to receiving the goodness of life.
    I was so broken last year, and I suffered in silence.
    I retreated into my old mindset for my final death. So, I guess I am blossoming into the person I was always afraid to be. But now I am not afraid. And I know that I am sacred and I understand how to honor all that I am without shrinking myself. So here is a poem I wrote that is the best way I can describe what is growing in my life…

    Is she a phoenix?
    Is she a flower?
    Or is she a butterfly?
    Or maybe she’s a bird?

    Maybe she’s rain.
    I know for sure
    She reincarnates
    Time and time again.
    She evolves.

    Maybe she is a volcano
    Active, ready to erupt.
    Destruction and rebirth
    As her lava flows
    Pruning and purifying
    The Earth.

    Maybe she’s
    just a force of nature
    Powerful but delicate
    As a flower

    She sprouts, grows
    and blooms…
    Maybe she is exactly
    Who she knew she was
    All along…

    I love you. I hope your life is blossoming in ways. As unimaginable as I am!

    • Dee, everything about this piece inspires me! I am so glad that you are blooming now when you felt broken only a year ago. This proves to me that by changing our mindsets, we can change our lives. I hope that you continue blossoming and living your life on your terms. Thank you for sharing!

    Yes! It’s a wild, bizarre story about how it came to me because my brain surprises me everyday lol. I haven’t found my person, but I drew inspiration from knowing that it exists and will come.

    Eye You

    Eye see you
    Do you see me?
    Soul to soul
    Yet oceans away.

    Is it weird
    To not only ask
    For one more night—
    But for you to stay?

    They say love lasts for a lifetime,
    But every minute apart
    Feels like you’re eons away.

    Eye see you.
    Eye see the star you are.
    I see the parts of your soul
    You try to hide.

    Could it be
    That you are my soul tribe?
    Or maybe my mate…
    Either way it goes,
    This union feels divinely great—
    Almost as if it was fate.

    Bashert.
    Eye see you.
    Soul to soul.
    Fated love so true.
    Eye see you.

    Bashert, my love,
    For you is destined to be.

    My soul searches for you,
    But eye cannot find
    Where you are hiding…

    Some days I am rain.
    Other days, I am earth.
    Some days I am air.
    Other days, I am fire.

    I scorch new paths to rebirth.
    But will you still love me the same
    On days when I can’t flow like water—
    When I bring storms, lightning, and rain?

    I might blow my fuse and explode,
    Blowing like wind…

    But the river of my love is ever flowing
    Into oceans of understanding,
    Deeper than the cosmos—
    The great gift of knowing.

    That you are my Baz, and eye you.
    My soul sees your soul,
    As the light of this
    Divine union shines through.

    Bashert, my love—Bashert.
    For the Divine One
    Designed me just for you.

    My Son's Uncle was Murdered By the Police three days before christmas... I am pissed so here's a poem

    No justice no peace
    That’s what they are screaming
    in the streets
    No justice no peace
    The streets run red
    While they back the blue
    They don’t bat an eye
    Because a wall matters
    more than life
    No justice no peace
    That’s what the mothers
    are crying in the streets
    The streets flood
    With innocent blood
    Hard to say their
    Names when
    You’re still at the first sentence
    They say we’re guilty
    Because our skin holds
    no innocence
    They say we need repentance
    No justice no peace
    That’s what the brothers
    are screaming in the streets
    Broken glass and broken skull
    Love is something that
    became void and null
    Bitterness and hatred
    flood our streets
    No more white sheets
    The enemy has a badge and
    a tailored suit
    No justice no peace
    Time to break the lease
    Move from the apartments
    Of pain and injustice
    To the suburbs of righteousness and truth
    No justice no peace
    Let these words be
    Proof of the prophecy
    Of I’m not liable to say what we won’t do
    No justice no peace
    I fell to my knees
    Came back purring
    Ready to lead
    My people to freedom
    For the sake
    of the kingdom
    No justice no peace
    Because they said it is “just us”
    Free Palestine
    Free Sudan
    Free the Congo
    Creation is crying
    Don’t act like you don’t know
    If you don’t like what I said
    That’s fine because
    I’m ready to the die for mine
    I’m tired of my people crying
    Government scamming and exploiting
    The poor for money
    We already know they lying
    They bombing children
    They are conducting massive genocide
    They throwing stones
    And then run and hide
    To play victim
    it’ll all work out
    Like it’s the people
    And not the system
    And when we stand together
    We are impervious
    That’s the shit
    That makes these
    Colonizers nervous
    No justice no peace
    Don’t sell me no dream
    Of mansions and gold-paved streets
    For an afterlife
    While I live in
    A world built with lies
    Pain, agony, and strife
    You sell me everlasting life
    And then take my life
    Say we believe in the same
    God
    Yet you treat us like
    Enemies
    I thought we were supposed
    to be kin
    Your neighbor, brother, and friend
    No justice no peace

  • Dear Pretty Dee,

    Dear Pretty Dee,

    I want to give you your flowers.

    It’s so amazing how you were once so unaware but still walking in your power. You thought you were never worthy of anything good because of your past. You thought you had ran out of time, until you learned that you have the power to turn the hour glass.

    I see you shedding new skin and you being free at last. You carried so much pain and now you’re finally shedding your past. Like a beautiful butterfly, you are freed from your cocoon at last.

    I just want to thank you for rocking and rolling with life’s punches. You know how to transmute your strife and allow beautiful things to grow. You are a hero not just to your kids but to me. Even on the hard days you rise. I should call you and Phoenix; with how you burn in the fire just to ride from the ashes each time. Baby, you are a star who shines. And you never let it go out. Even when you were in darkness and filled with doubt you were still shining ever so bright. No matter how hard you used to self-sabotage, you couldn’t even dim your own light. I am so grateful to know you and to see you in every single season. You lived to tell the tales of why you had a 13th reason and how you beat it. You are more than a conqueror and patting yourself on the back doesn’t make you conceited. You thought you took some losses but really it’s a flawless victory. Because the things you release and let go of catapult you into your destiny. The better you are the best me. You ooze authenticity even when you try to hide in the shadows. Baby you are a sunflower and you will never be a rose. You really keep people on their toes. I am glad that you have learned to love being hated. Because now love grows in the places where you were jaded. I might be biased but I think you are the greatest thing that God could have ever created.

    You learned to stop over-giving and watering others. And pour into you. I love the peace you have because you are more into your self-care. I love how you are so aware. I am thankful that you started implementing boundaries and you let them stay there. I thank you for allowing me in your space. I know i haven’t seen anything but your are giving me a taste. The endless love and gratitude that I have for you is unconditional and cannot be counted. I love that you over came the mountain that was you. I thank you for staying true even when you were lost. I’m so grateful that you realized that you are the boss. I can give you thanks and gratitude for ages but I might run out of pages. Because I am not worshipping just you but the Holy Spirit of God within. I am thankful to know that in you I will always have a friend and you got me where I lack.
    DeAndrea, I honestly just want you to know that I am grateful for you and I love you to the next universe and back! You finally love yourself and stop waiting for people to water you back and get their approval. It’s the best thing you could have done. Taking care of you. So no matter what always stay true because your kids are becoming better people because of you.

    I love you,

    Dee The Divine

    • Dee, I love how deeply you love yourself! Most people criticize themselves to the point where there is little love left, but you see your worth and celebrate it! You are so right that we need to pour into ourselves before we can water others. Thank you for sharing your experience! You are an inspiration!

    When I Shake My Ass

    You might shake
    Your head at me
    in Disapproval
    And say
    I have no class
    Poke fun at me
    And laugh
    You might call me
    Slut
    You might call me Whore
    Because I can
    Move these hips
    So melodically
    On this dance floor
    Your brain can’t help
    But fantasize
    About me doing more

    It’s a Hot girl Summer
    Imma shake my dreads
    To this Sexyy Red
    Drop it down low
    Cause whether
    This ass is big or small
    I am thick for sum
    I back it up for
    The 99s and 2000s
    And twerk fa sum
    Hands on my knees
    I don’t mind bending
    It over
    To let it breathe
    Cause I got hump
    In my back
    And I’m shaking this rump
    Because it frees me

    You might
    Think I am sleazy
    And that sleeping
    With me is easy
    Because I love moving
    This booty meat
    I shaking off shackles
    Off me
    Everything that used
    to hurt me
    Disappears
    When I shake my ass
    I tapping into my divine and
    dark femininity
    Twerking away the guilt and shame
    From the trauma of early
    Exposure to sexual activity
    I am shaking myself loose
    I am shaking myself free

    From the voice of the imposter
    and silent critic
    Cause in the words of my
    Granny B “ I don’t give a shit”
    I am shaking off years of
    Physical, emotional, mental and sexual abuse,curses
    And trauma
    This shit is generational
    I inherited it from
    My Mama’s mama’s mama’s
    Mama’s mama
    This shit goes deep
    These thick thighs
    Don’t save no other lives
    But my own
    I wiggle these hips
    For every time
    When I was younger
    And was told
    Dancing made me fast and Too grown
    Like being stiff as a board
    Made my sexual abusers leave me alone
    So I guess I will be that floozy
    Cause I will shake it to anything from
    Slipknot to Tupac
    Mozart, Dolly and Shaboozey
    I shake my ass because I inner stand
    The freedom in my movement
    I fall in love with all I am
    And who I am coming to be
    I don’t give a damn
    You can Judge me
    I know who I am and that I am set free
    So you can sit there like a bump on a log
    I am celebrating me
    So enjoy the view I guess
    While I gyrate and wiggle
    This bodacious booty
    And receive the blessings
    release the stress
    and Set my soul free

    Heaven's Morning

    How many times have I
    Done this wicked communion?
    I present my body and blood
    Not for nourishment
    But to be devoured until I am no more
    He who eats and drinks of this
    Cup unworthily drinks damnation
    Unto himself

    Unholy communion
    Attached to eternal bliss
    Forgotten pledge to the cross
    As we kiss

    We wrestled all night until
    The sun peeks its head
    above the horizon
    And venerates
    our bodies with light

    You slumber still
    I wide awake
    Wondering what will this be
    Will this man be it for me?
    My God my Holy one
    The father and son
    My Savior
    I still feel the essence of your spirit
    Inside of me
    I still taste the flavor
    Of your skin

    I still hear the echoes
    From the wall
    As I call for Jesus
    Every inch graced
    By your touch
    It pleases
    All my senses
    As I come to the consensus
    With my mind body spirit
    And soul
    You are my God
    MY will I submit to you
    Let the actions of my body
    Be pleasing to you
    Feel the eruption of my worship
    As my living water flows

    Heaven only knows

    Dreams of monogamy
    Carnal insecure thoughts wondering
    If he is lying to me

    Because last night we were on earth
    Underneath the stars and the moon
    Gazing and anticipating
    Quiet heavy whispers
    Questioning if it’s too soon
    I only known you for a moment
    But you’re familiar

    Like always meant to be mine
    Always meant to share space and time
    In a past life we were distant lovers
    Faithful Ritualistic promises of
    See you next lifetime
    Engraved in our DNA
    And unconscious mind

    It’s like I spent every life
    searching for you
    Too stunned to speak
    Loving you from a distance
    You noticed me
    But we shied away
    Translated as indifference

    Wondering what am I missing
    When will time be kind?
    At this very moment
    all the timelines
    Align

    All in-sync
    Body to body
    Melanin on melanin
    Skin in skin
    Shedding the weight of
    Our earthly bodies and its sin

    Ascending into the cosmos
    Intertwining until we are one
    Only God knows
    When we shall be undone
    The universe sings praises
    And exalts our union
    We are gods
    The universe is pleased
    I cover you just as Nut
    Does for Geb
    When he admires
    Her beauty
    We both intertwined
    In this web
    Of ethereal bliss

    We fly past constellations,
    planets and Galaxies
    And make love
    in the nebula clouds
    Our sweat scattered across
    The universe and heavens

    As we take our rest
    No need for words
    While we lie naked
    And undressed
    Our chocolate bodies
    Dancing in the shadows
    Of my head
    Heart distressed
    At the potential mess
    This could be
    You’re asleep
    And Wide awake I lay
    In this bed
    As the sun rises
    From its slumber
    the angels of light
    Dance on the walls
    of this room
    I find peace and rest
    in the quiet of
    Heaven’s morning
    And wait for the
    Cleansing
    Found in
    Heaven’s afternoon

    I Just Want to Drive to the Middle of Nowhere

  • Anyways, Life is Good....Gooder than Good

    To my Unsealed Tribe,

    Everyday is a favorite day for me
    I opened my eyes this morning and I could see
    I could move my legs and stand on my feet
    Wiggle my toes
    And touch my nose
    Use my mind to write this prose

    Running water, working lights
    Food in my fridge
    Roof over my head
    Despite my many obstacles
    I am not dead.

    I can put a smile on my face
    Even in the darkest place
    Because every day I breathe
    is my favorite day

    I remember the days
    when I didn’t think this way
    I remember wanting to hide
    And wish the world away

    I thought the only way
    I could find peace
    Is if I was laid in a linen lined box
    And placed in a plot
    While the words
    “With deepest sympathy”
    Are recited to my kids and family
    And I be laid to rest
    “In loving memory”
    Yes , everyday is my favorite day

    Even when it didn’t go as planned
    And even the days I was
    Surrounded by my enemies
    And out manned

    Through every experience this year
    I have learned life is grand
    And to push away all fear
    And run full speed ahead
    I dare myself to stay the course
    And in every moment, minute , hour
    Day and season
    That my breathe is more than
    Enough reason
    To let everyday be my favorite
    Even on the bad days I will claim it
    You will never grow
    If the sun is always shining
    And the sky is never raining
    This year I learned how to
    Not only love the rain
    But dance in it
    Everyday is my favorite day
    Because the breath in my body means I am winning.

    Peace and Love

    Dee
