I dreamed last night about Sty and I woke this morning with a groggy clarity that was colored in orange and red hues of sadness. Sty so sweet – so sexy – so present and giving – and yet I cannot give him<\/em> what he wants from me. Not now maybe not ever. And so he has answered the siren’s call to head out to another gig, in another town, and I am moving on. How sweet these past weeks have been in the large, strong arms of desire. <\/p>\n

But what my friends have seen from all of this is how much I have grown. Me. So now I will take my victory lap. Who doesn’t want to be desired by someone they desire? Who doesn’t want lips so sweet to kiss yours? Who doesn’t want love to lift you off your feet? <\/p>\n

My intuition has been strong. My knowledge in what I am prepared to give has been a knowing deep in my bones. My hesitation has proven prudent. My love of self has come to the forefront. I battled me. <\/p>\n

We all must meet in a space where we feel protected. I have stood sentry over my temple (with a little help from my friends). <\/p>\n

I am sad and yet my clarity is like a beacon of light into my now and tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Tonight, I will light a candle for my struggles – I battled the old me, and the new me won. I will call out to my ancestors again for giving me wisdom and a heart that is fearless. I will thank God for my friends and their support. <\/p>\n

I will say to my sexy friend, thank you for you, you helped me be me without fear. <\/p>\n

And I will tell the world in a hush, bring me another lover<\/em>, with a sweet smile on my lips. <\/p>\n
