I write because I feel deeply and speaking alone isn't enough for self expression. We must write, speak, dance, drum, sing, be theatrical, laugh, and love.

Yin Yang

When I lie unclad with you, it is not only my flesh that rests in warmth and protection of yours but my soul as well. There are ways I must present myself to the world in order to protect my integrity. When I lie with you, I have nothing to fear because my feminine rests in your strength. When I am burdened, you lift the weight off me with your oh so strong hands. Is there nothing you can’t do? In my eyes, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and I believe Christ has made you the strongest man. How fortunate my womb is to one day hold your seed and deliver our descendants. You are deserving of my love, all my patience, all my care, all my prayers. I come from a long line of healers and for the first time, a healer is not broken. Instead, you teach me many more ways I can heal myself. You, the Yang to my Yin, have never forced me, demanded of me, nor let our misogynistic world make you see me any other way but simply being another human. So, you treat me with respect and reverence, kindness and compassion. In a world where you think you are unseen and unnoticed, I will forever see you and in every lifetime, my soul will know yours. We will never be together in this life but I know our paths will cross again in the next and in alignment we shall remain until the end of infinity.
