.QUEENS.

Brown and lovely, you are envied by many, for your elegance, your face, your skin, your grace, your voice..You are a diamond, you are a treasure, no other person can begin to measure who you are. Your history is profound, treated as the dirt from the ground, you have risen up and now you can sip from royalty's cup, if you so choose..Black woman, you are the truth, when the world lies; you don't have to hide behind the hype, you are what people want to be, and we see that constantly in real life and what's portrayed on tv..What I'm saying, can be quoted as fact, because word around town is that you don't crack..Everybody want's that..Strength is in your dna, resilience in your blood, and when you're needed by your people, courage is what floods out of your life and into their hearts, brown skin queen, you deserved honor from the start. When other people said that you were worthless, you worked hard to prove that you are worth no less then the best, priceless. Created in HIS image, God created you to be beautiful, your flawlessness is rooted deep into your soul, wonderful. With your limits exceeding the sky, it's okay to hold your head high; you've endured trials and tribulations and still you rise, from generation to generation your passion never dies. I honor you, queen, daughters, mothers, wives, and I stand with dignity as I walk through life, knowing that YOU understand ME. Let's build, uplift, encourage, heal, WE need to stand together..If WE don't, who will?

Happy Birthday, Best Friend.

Twenty-Five years ago, he was born. A soul so devine, he entered the world right on time, bringing a sense of balance to the earth, from beauty, he was birthed; beautiful brown perfection, far exceeding the perception of what He is..He is you, you are He..And He.. You, are beautiful to me..I feel as though my soul has been connected to yours since day one, like my heart was intertwined with yours before my life had begun..You are like the unsung melody that plays in my mind, but when I try to sing out loud, the words, I can't find..So, instead, I'll make it a poetic type of rhyme..But, I still feel it won't do you justice; Andre Justin..I pay homage to you in many ways, I show you respect on many days, but today, I am blessed, thankful and honored, to know you on your BIRTHday.
:)

iFeel I owe you an apology..iGot so wrapped up in technology, that It became my only reality. These days, I'm touching screens not lives, I fell victim to the lies, the one that tells me that reality has to die. I depend on i, icare about me, who are you? What is WE? iLost my sight in gigabytes, i'm too far gone, idoubt I can get right. iNeed and iWant, so iGet and then so easily, iforget, that iShould be focused on souls lost, because in reality, these souls were purchased at a cost, more precious than an apple; Not the same apple the caused Adam to fall, of course not, but the one that I'll use to make that next call; instead of stepping up and being intentional, i have decided to only step up if it's 3 dimensional.
In a world so focused on I, iSee myself drifting, it's true..iSee me, drifting from you. Instead of seeing you face to face, I choose face time, or facebook, or Myface..Oh wait..
So iMade up my mind that I am going to move me aside, put down my iPride and simply, Be.. I wan't to be the one that people see, I just want to be me, and I want to connect with you, no wi-fi necessary..Just a conversation, building and connecting with who God created us to be, enforcing change without a call, without logging in..Let's go back to how we began.. Are you in?

Ripple Effect

The light, the love, the soul, the heart..These few things are only the start of a change in our world, the cause to effect, these few things can be defined as a ripple effect.
We are the lights of the world, the cities placed upon hills that cannot be hidden, so why then would we try so hard to blend in? There's nothing wrong with making your own name, expanding your knowledge and going against the grain..Think about it..
We were created in the love of God, so we have to do more, we must do more, there's too many young people struggling to get by, too many people are willing to die to get out of the life that they have to lead, too many people are willing to make themselves bleed to feel a sense of bliss, not even understanding that they've been betrayed by the worlds kiss..
But all we are willing do is offer our sympathy? Why don't we try a new angle, what about empathy..Why don't we put ourselves in other peoples positions and direct them to our father, the ultimate physician, the life healer..The unconditional lover.
We sharpen our souls, but what is the goal? Do we build up our souls to encourage only ourselves?
So why don't we go out and share our wealth, we must realize that gaining lost souls might be a fight. but how beautiful it is to add one more to the army of the light..It's worth it, it makes the struggle alright.
We have been equipped with quite possibly the most resilient instruments..Our hearts; Our hearts can bend and break, it can withstand the deepest of pain and then immediately feel joy..God wants us to fill up our hearts, so that we can share it with other people and let them know that no matter our differences we were created equal..
Our young people have hearts just like us, but their hearts have been filled with mistrust or warped views of what truth is and alot of us understand so we can share what we KNOW truth really is and through the connections of our hearts, we can show what it means to forgive and let go..WE are equipped to do these things, so why does it never show?
We have the power to cause an effect..We can be the positive ripple affect.

Friend or Foe.

I'm not trying to point fingers or lay blame, but if you read this and feel it's you, then maybe you should take claim for the actions and the fact that these words I'm writing are just a reaction to what I've been given, and I will take responsibility for taking up residence, in where I have been driven..
I've ended up in an unfamiliar place that I really do not know, I've relocated to the city, the city of Friend or Foe..
The population is you, and a little bit of me and there is confusion on where we stand because our neighbor is out of town, her name is Mrs.Common Courtesy..
I can see that there is a change in the way that YOU invest in WE..The change is that I say hello and you turn away from me.
Now in the city that I come from, we do our best to know, if something is indeed over, we confirm it and let it go..But it seems you have a different view on what's reality, but maybe it is partly my fault, you can't expect the blind to see..
The truth is when I met you, I was excited about that season, but alas, I've learned that life can change and clearly for no reason..
I truly enjoyed my time with you, but I have really got to go.. I've got to get away from this dreaded land.. So long, my friend or foe.

Peace

Life is hard..But who told me it would be easy? I think I told myself that to psyche me out and make me not worry; but sometimes I freak out and my vision gets blurry and I think that I am doing this life on my own.
I depend on myself and I get into THE ZONE.. You know, the one where you start to rely on your own strength, you start believing in YOUR OWN will, because you feel like it's easier to deal, easier to heal, even though in reality you're steepening your own hill, because you forget that GOD has the power to make your dreams real..And God can read your mind, so your desires, HE can fulfill..So just chill...
And then God told me something..Not in a loud voice, but in a gentle whisper..He said..
"Be still and KNOW that I AM God...Be STILL and KNOW that I AM GOD...
I AM GOD, Mallory..Be Still.."
And in that moment I felt Peace...
PEACE.

You're Worth It

It's in the deep waves of your hair that I get lost, lost in a sea of beauty and all I can see is the elegance and grace--Oh it's your face and your eyes that I look into and see so deep into your soul, it's the shade of brown, and I would hate to see you cry, but your eyes must shine when the tears flow..Beautiful.
It's your smile, that smile, it drives me wild , it's precious, it's divine, it triggers the beating in my heart, every time... Every time your beautiful lips part, no, don't let me start on how those lips belong in a category of their own and when you talk to me I literally fall into a zone where I am captivated by their shape and how they look so plush..I hope you don't mind it when you pucker and I rush, I rush to capture my kiss and all of a sudden, I leave this earth and fall into bliss..
It's the way your heart beats and the rhythm it produces, it sounds so sweet.
It's the blood that flows through your body, does that sound weird? I'm sorry..But let me finish..Your blood is the force that keeps you livin', do you understand what I'm saying? I hope I'm forgiven, for loving the force that's been enduring since birth, it's the life force that keeps you on this earth..So for that, I am more than willing to offer my thankfulness..
It's your spirit and how every time I speak with you, through our conversation, I hear it..I hear your deepest thoughts and your hearts desire and a passion inside of you will never tire or get old, in fact, it can start a fire..And when you speak to me, my spirit becomes a flame and sometimes this happens just in the way you say my name..No it's not a game...You send me to the love insane asylum.. Nah, I'm just wildin', but this love, I wanna keep..This love, oh it's so deep..And this love is so real, I cant even begin to tell you how it has the power to heal..It has the power to cure the darkest days and the coldest night..This love is beyond pure and that's alright..You're beautiful in my sight.
It's the tone of your brown skin and how the golden tints radiate, even without sunlight..Everything about you is so tight..
It's the way I dream about you, even when I'm awake..I said I dream about you EVEN when I'm awake..That means I adore you, for goodness sake.. I hope you feel the truth in what I'm sayin and the fact that I'm being SO REAL that it seems fake..But I would love to continue to show you..It doesn't matter how long it takes.
You're Worth It.
