Hey Fam...I know I know...it's a lil over a month. I've just been chillin and preparing for the semester. I have class tonight as a matter of fact..

Yesterday was my baby's birthday..he's 22. I told him that he's old now...he's not really old but I just tease him cause he teases me. (See the phonecam for the gorgeousness that is Patrick Johnson ). I tried my best to make his day as wonderful as possible. He had to drive to Montgomery with his students so the majority of his day was on the interstate. We're going to try to celebrate it all week though...just so he knows how much I love his punk arse!!

How about I actually won this? I didn't think I would....thanks TVA. I love ya'll!!

the earth rotates
continuously
as I ponder
this
mundane existance
pleading helplessly
to live on my own
sloughing the excess
so I can fly
looking
for freedom

today I will find it...

as I peer out
into the distance
the brightness
of life
sparks passion
in blazing shades
breathes hope
into my spirit
only to give way
to the intensity
of your face

you are what I'm looking for...

chasing liberation
yet discovering
inspiration
imagination
holds me close
as if it birthed me
at this present moment
life takes on
a whole new hue
as I look for your
colors in the sky

for you are too beautiful to hide...

the clouds are filled
with yellow moons
and blue suns
all in the highlight
of the day's labor
the trees waltz with me
as I tell the story
of my quest
and anticipate
the rest of my life
being this amazing

for you have given me this treasure...

I kiss the purple birds
and caress the green horizon
searching for
what is already
mine
escapades
of the spectacular
have given themselves
to me
and it's all thanks to you

so away I soar...

for you were not my ticket
you were my teacher
to be carefree and expressive
was the lesson
taught by the head mistress
yet only realized
after conception passed
so I follow your lead
on the wings of the red dragon
I will be looking
for your colors in the sky
but
painting a portrait
with them
in my heart
evermore..

Okay...that's all you get for now...my joints hurt so I can't type that much.
