This Is War: Love and Lust



As many of you know, I have been on a true journey the past few years. Coming to terms and grips with hurts, addressing more of my past and simply operating in the realms of love and forgiveness, feeling whole and complete within my skin. There will always be a battle to be fought and won and there are times I find myself under attack. In the past, the attack has been on my morality, finances, my spirituality, and now I am battling my mind between this love and lust thing.

There is this saying so many of us use these days to justify behavior, “You only live once”. Yes, this is a true statement, YOLO, so true. But within this statement I find myself telling myself, “You’ve allowed your soul to die once, that’s more than enough.” But temptation can be a mofu!!! While I know exactly what I desire in a mate, when something else is presented to me that I know is no good for me, its becomes war to avoid it at all costs, especially when strong attraction is evident. I battle the shoulds and should nots over and over again in my mind. And now more than ever, I am fully aware of myself, I am present, I see me, I’m connected to me, my feelings, emotions, desires, my yearnings. I am then reminded not to block my blessings.  

I am a Christian, I am a woman, a mother; I am blood pumping and heart beating flesh and regardless of what I presume to know the right course of action to be, what I do know is that holding out for what I truly want, desire need on many levels is not as easy to hold out for. Although, I never thought it would be easy, I also didn’t realize how strong the temptation would be until it presented itself. So yes, this is war for me, this love and lust thing. I am praying hard, speaking into my life, as well as others. Think what you will…but I hope not to succumb to the latter, and that’s real.

Peace and blessings,
Shamina

HE SAID SHE SAID

He said he wanted to smell it
I said put your face in it
He said he wanted to taste it
I said he would need to suck it
He said he wanted to kiss it
I said I want you to lick it
He said he wanted to put his finger in it
I said sure, but hum on it

He said he wanted to squeeze on it
I said nibble on it
He said he wanted to blow on it
I said put sum ice on it, chew sum gum and nibble on it
He said he wanted to watch
I said why not

He said he wanted to tease
I said I wanted to be pleased
He said he wanted to grab and pull
I said I wanted more and more
He said he wanted to hit the floor
I said I couldn't take no more

He said she said and they went they separate ways and slept in their respective beds
