Naked: A Poem Inspired by my Muse

-
I first wrote this poem about two years ago. There have been some alterations since I first wrote it but it is one of my favorites.
Naked
I want you to be the one to see inside of me,
Deep inside of me where no one has been before.
I want you to see me stripped of my layers,
Stripped of all the excess baggage that have broken my back.
Even though your burnt caramel complexion is tempting,
I am not referring to anything physical.
I am talking about seeing me emotionally and spiritually bare.

I want you see me laugh,
Until tears of joy spring from my eyes.
I want you to see me cry,
Until my eyes are swollen.
I want you to be able to provoke me
Until I am so enraged that I could kill you.
I want to be able look into your eyes
Until I see the chocolate melting within them
I want to be able to hold your hand in public
To claim you are mine
And when I am brave enough to utter those three words
I will not feel vulnerable because I know you will be there to catch me.
I want you to be the one true person to see me completely naked.

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

The List: The Sexiest Men 2013 Edition

-

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition here on Confessions that during the month of love I unveil my list of men that continue to rock my world. Considering how successful my last list was the only responsible thing for me to do is officially declare that this tradition will live on. If you are curious to see how last year's list differed from this year here it is  My Little Valentines . This year my list is a little different. First of all, it did not feel right to narrow it down to 100. So below you will see a list composed of 110 men. I have included men that not only I find incredibly good looking but men that have enamored me with their talent and their wit. My list is in alphabetical order besides my top ten. If there is an asterisk behind their name that means they are newbies to the list. Let me know who you think is incredibly good looking.

What Can You Do Now?

-
This past week has been a dark chapter in American history. Over 100,000 American lives were lost to COVID-19.  On Memorial Day, in the city of Minneapolis George Floyd was murdered by four police officers. His death sparked a nation wide outrage. If you would like to know the ways you can support the movement please take a look at this website.  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#   It will give you ways you can help. You can sign petitions, donate, find contact information for officials in Minneapolis and find out ways to participate in peaceful protests.  This would also be a good time to register to vote, if you have not done so already. Besides remaining informed, I would advise you all to take care of your health during this difficult time. Make sure you take time to remain both physically and mentally strong.  Keep yourself hydrated. Take your vitamins. Meditate. Pray. Find ways to find joy. It is also a good time to reach out to love ones.  Be safe and be kind to yourself.
