Fleeting Hope, Lingering Pain
In the depths of despair, a shadow resides,Whispers of doubt, where my heart abides.Why do good things slip away from my reach,Leaving my soul wounded, unable to preach?I dare not dream, for fear of the fall,Every success, a fleeting, cruel call.A cycle of loss and heartache, it seems,Leaving me broken, adrift in my dreams.I feel… Continue reading Fleeting Hope, Lingering Pain
Harmony in Imperfections
We could be a melody, full of imperfections,Our harmonies blending in unique directions.With each note we play, a new story is told,Creating a symphony, beautiful and bold. Our rhythms may clash, our tones may not match,But together we create a perfect patchwork.In our discord, there lies a hidden beauty,A song of love, woven with complexity.… Continue reading Harmony in Imperfections

We’re strong, we’re resilient, we rise above,But society sees us through a lens devoid of love.Our bodies judged, our worth defined,By the male gaze, our value confined. But we… Continue reading Unveiling Strength: Black Women’s Resilience
A Name Enriched with Significance and Spiritual Depth
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? My middle name is Avesha. I pronounce my name as A-Ve-Sha, but some people pronounce it as Ae-V-Ah-Sha.In my research, I have discovered that “Avesha” is a Sanskrit word that signifies being “imbued with” or “possessed by.” In Hindu philosophy, Avesha represents a state… Continue reading A Name Enriched with Significance and Spiritual Depth
Unwanted Questions
Oh, goodness! I always dread being asked why my bum is so big and why I’m so thick. It’s simply genetics, you know. I inherited it from my momma, and she got it from her momma.
Bodies
My body, your body, her bodyWe are somebody, skin and boneBreathing, moving, feeling deeplyIn this world of flesh and toneMy body is a vesselA home for my spirit to roamScarred and imperfectBut uniquely my ownYour body is a storyA dance of curves and linesA map of experiencesEtched in every signHer body is a mysteryA universe… Continue reading Bodies
