It's Been A Long Time

I know it's been a while, and it's most definitely all my fault to leave y'all hanging. So let me get straight to it. Lot's of things have been going on in this world of mine but I'll save the best news for last. Yes, I'm still writing. I just haven't posted a video in a while. O wait, I take that back, I DID post a video on YouTube! It was about a month ago so make sure you go and check it out! www.youtube.com/AlabasterDiva But in other news... I had an audition with Cardiair Geezus and I got the contract to become part of his label!! Real Life Muzic! However, because I'm in the military, things were a little uncertain of how long I would be here and I've I'd be able to finish the contract. So I decided not to sign that contract for not only that reason, but because I prayed about and I didn't really feel like that's where God was leading me at the time. Don't get me wrong, poetry and music is more of my passion than anything else, but I had to listen to what God was telling me. On top of that, I'm also glad I didn't sign the contract or else I'd probably be dealing with a lot of stress right now. Why?.......because I'm PREGNANT! This is my husband and I first child and we are sooo excited! I thank God for even thinking enough of me to give us a child. So of course, be expecting a piece about this! God bless!!

Bust A Move!!

OMG! Are you guys ready to hear this awesome news that I have?! Well, let me start off by telling you how this came about.

If you scroll down a couple of entries, you'll see a picture of me and Cardiair Geezus(CEO of Real Life Muzic http://www.reallifemuzic.com ). If you haven't read that blog, I was talking about how he told me to stop by his studio. Well, a few weeks ago, I checked out the studio and Cardiair finally had a chance to hear my vocals. I absolutely LOVE the Arts. Not just poetry, but I love acting, singing, writing...everything. I had an absolute blast at the studio and couldn't wait to go back.

Due to a current Army job reassignment, I've been really busy and unable to make it out to any of the poetry events out here in Fayetteville. But I spoke with a fellow poet on facebook last night and she told me that she hit up Cardiair's studio and he was talking about so much talent that people have but how they're kind of underexposed. She told me that Cardiair mentioned my name as one of those people. I was shocked and humbled at the same time. So I texted Cardiair and asked him when would be the next time he was gonna have me in the studio.

We shared a couple of text messages back and forth and I made sure he truly understood how much I love to sing. I most certainly didn't expect Cardiair's next text message to read what it did. To make a long story short, the last thing Cardiair said to me that had me completely floored was, "Well how would you feel about becoming an RLM artist." I was so shocked and excited that I just held the phone and read the text ,message several times because I couldn't even believe it was real!

I have a couple of friends that are in the music business and I contacted them today and they gave me lots of insight as to how to deal with this situation in a proper and intelligent manner instead of jumping the gun. But I must say, I'm EXTREMELY excited and I can't wait to see where God is taking me!

Picture Perfected

I've called my friends,played on the internet, watched a movie, and even tried to take a nap just to get you off of my mind.

Out of 86,400 seconds in a day, I'm guessing...43,200 are filled with thinking of your phone calls and our late night conversations/Me mentally stimulating you with my intimate questions, and let's not mention all of your sexual suggestions./Got me dreaming of your hugs and your passionate kisses/Pleasing me physically while I visually personify your text messages./But the only thing wrong with this is...I have a mister and you have a missus.

Our mouths say we're friends but my mind is subdued in otherwise/because I know so much about you that I've developed this small attraction and my actions are beginning to speak louder than my words./Like, making sure you got that good morning text message I sent and making those pet names like "boo","honey",and "love" appear so innocent./Well, they were..../At first/Until our conversation got so diverse that we immersed ourselves in our own lucid universe of just you...and me./Knowing that the reality is that the only thing wrong with this picture is...I have a mister and you have a missus.

We talk every single day and even more often when she makes you mad./But you know that if I had you, I'd always add to your happiness./But I guess I'll just embrace the thought of us in my mind for now because somewhere/somehow/I caught feelings for you./So when you call me tellin me what y'all going through, I'm glad to be the voice that comforts you./Your transparency spoils me deeper when you always tell me the truth because of the unconditional love you know I have for you./But boo, this cycle can't continue because to be honest with you/ every time my cell phone vibrates, I'm disappointed when the Caller I.D. reads his name instead of you.

To face facts, I can't act like the exact emotion that I've developed for this predicament isn't jealousy./You see, she still sees you every night when y'all fall asleep side by side/ and I know it ain't right, but it's just not fair that I can't be next to you to breathe your same air./I want to simulate all of your senses./Like feeling your hands mapping over my body/smelling your chocolate skin just to check if it compliments the sweetness that my lips taste on your neck/and my mind misleads my ears to hear that I love you that you never said just to see the look in your eyes when you watch me saw my hips.

The word compatibility is too vague to describe you and me because what we have could last infinities of eternities./But we were both honest from the start.I knew another woman had your heart./So I'm left to pretend with these feelings I'll have to contend because if I ever get to show you just how real and pure my love is, you'll know that the only thing wrong with this picture is,

You're not my mister and...I'm not your missus.
