Preparing To Be A Lesbian Dad
les•bi•an dad n, neologism 1. a. A lesbian or genderqueer parent who feels that traditionally female titles (i.e., “mother”) don’t quite fit, and who is willing to appropriate and redefine existing male ones (i.e., “father”): She was a tomboy when she was a kid, so it’s not surprising she’s a lesbian dad as a parent.

Of All Things
Sensitive yet proud
are the feelings
that carry us
Drifting entirely through tiny boxes
Oh what irony
When love of all things
Leaves hearts fluttering
I confess to embracing it
Holding onto the message
My distant longing once met
And I suspect there are others
Unbeknown to me
I see them in your eyes
The hurt is stifling
But I smooth it over
In attempts to set you free
We play kissy face
While philosophising theories
About [...]
Things Fall Together
I admit our misunderstanding was striking. In one fell swoop I went from aroused to feeling your feisty. I was chillin’ on the couch… laying half-naked, I’ll have you know. So when you asked, “what are you doing,” I could barely open my mouth. When stiffled chuckles spouted out. I sat there thinking, for a moment or two before [...]
Your Sexy Intellect
I always noticed you
My initial feeling was that you were dope
I loved how your thoughts processed
And how you played it like your were so… shy
I especially like it when
You casually bite your lip
While side eyeing something I just said
And all I probably want
Is to be in between both of them
I like how you just showed up
Out of the blue [...]
I got tagged by FoxyBrown
I got tagged [by FoxyBrown] so without further ado, here goes something.
1. What inspired you to start a blog and share your style with the world?
I started my blog because I have always loved to write, and I found myself writing way too much in my head. Journals have always provided an instant outlet, but blogging has provided a release that [...]
Black Women’s Interracial Dating Woes
I’ve been working on two blogs for awhile now. The first is about black women and interracial dating, the second is about race and culture and what I feel is a growing disconnect within the lesbian community. They are equally touchy subjects and since I’m one the few that has stepped outside the comfort of my cultural [...]
Lost In Thought
Today, I sit and contemplate, and wonder to myself because my mind takes me all over the place on days like this. I dig deep within and get frustrated at the direction the world is moving in. I look at culture and politics, status and class, social-networking and relationships and I’m left with anger and frustration that I [...]
Dream Girl
There is this image of you.. one of the very first, at least. I wanted to rip off that little nightie you had on with ease, but I didn’t. You were kind of leaning against the wall waiting for me to pass you by. I didn’t look at you as I walked, but I could feel you with my eyes. Yours were staring into [...]
A Poem to Self
My healed black ego
Hides well under the scars
Placed carefully within
Misshapen bouts of depression
Can’t think clear enough
Through the emotional discarding
Of those well-sung lullabies
I used to sing myself at night
Flying through the open window
Out of a heavily burdened mind
Makes me thank God
For how feminine love makes me
Feels so free to alleviate
Any discord that plagues me
Like how the daily motions
of dallying in masculinity
Cause others to abhor
As [...]
Baby Steps: Bits And Pieces Of My Weekend
Having your current girlfriend and ex together in the same room is not as awkward as most people think.I’m not sure why it’s so unpleasant for most people, but I think a lot of it has to do with the depth of the relationships, the personality and characteristics of the women and the luck factor of [...]
