"One Hundred"

My bestie's birthday is Thursday.. I've been knowing this chick for 13 years now, and we've been with other through some really hard times.. She's always been there for me, never judged me, even after I came out to her three years ago (this after we dated for 18 months in high school).. I love her and I'm so glad she's a part of my life.. Today, I wrote this for her, titling it after our favorite catch phrase, "Keeping it One Hundred," which of course to us means being real, open, and honest, at all costs.. By doing this, we've grown closer.. I don't like to buy greeting cards from stores, so I always do something personal.. Happy Birthday, Elexis.. I hope you like it..

"One Hundred"

I love her like chocolate

Like sweet decadent cocoa

Her existence overjoys me

For the reality of her life

Intersects the complexity of mine

Without judgement

Retribution or recourse

And this love is undefined

By the limits of physicalities

Intrusive looks or

Conventional circumstance

Because it's pure

Undefiled, unbroken by

Terms and conditions

And for this

I will always love her..

Updates...

So the ball is rolling on the book publishing. The cover is done and so is the final editing. I'm hoping to get some critical reviews done and get it to the printers by next month. I'm so excited. Above, is the actual promo card that will be used for the release party and just information about the book release. If you can't tell, I'm extremely excited. Hope to hear from you guys soon..

Much Love and God Bless,

Lay Down

Resting your head on my chest
My heartbeat links with yours
And I hear you breathe
In the rhythm our bodies created
When I first laid down with you
I anticipate when I get to feel it again
Just to feel the warmth of your body
Against my skin, enticing my members
To stay there, here with you
For a thousand eternities
Infinite, immeasurable seconds
'Til breath escapes my body
Climaxing in your arms
And I run my fingers softly
Across the lines of your face
I love to lay down
With you....

It feels empty sometimes
To love as much as I do
Pure unadulterated weakness
At the idea of your existence
Realizing in time
It was destined that
We share each other
The brilliance of a love
That seems to blind me
My better judgment
Clouded by
An overflow of emotion
Because my heart
Clings to an ideal
Far perfect than
Actual reality
Exuberantly blissful
With the absence of pain
Which seems to be
A love I’ll never know…
