i used to love h.e.r. [again].

:)
by emory douglas. (1969)

mooz-lum.

nothing.

i haven't written anything in awhile.
& its beginning to hurt.
i'm feeling heavy,
almost constipated with words.
but on the other hand,
i guess the silence between the pen
and the page is the equivalent
of listening.
i never spoke when i had
nothing to say,
only quietly observed...
growing stronger,
waiting patiently until
my mind refills with
words...

i just devoured this octavia butler novel.
one of my fave authors in the world.....

she is like a muse,
fulfillment for the empty mind,
she is like fuel.

so thankful for the mind & the gift
of the writer.

"if you are to fall in love,
then where should you stand
to begin with?

& when the falling's done,
how bad should you plan
to get injured?

& if you land on your feet,
do it count as a fall or a jump?

& do it feel like a fall
when the hands that pushed you
are holding you up? "

muse. (s)

you put me
in a good place.
i see
Him in
your eyes.

you are like the Moon,
reflecting His light

when the Sun is too powerful
to be contained in naked eyes.

i thank you for
your warmth,
your peace.

your shine.
