My fav Facebook Community
I grew up watching my brother and his closest friends play video games and also sneaking into my brother’s closet to read his comic books shhh. So finding a community on Facebook that included video games in their daily content felt just like home. I just wanted to take the time to share a link to my favorite community titled The Extraordinary Journey of a Black Nerd Group. I think they provide interesting and engaging content including cosplay, movie reviews, funny memes, and great conversation starters. The comments are usually the best part. I also love Marvel and they have a lot of pretty cool conversations on the comics and movies. I have learned so much in this group when it comes to all comic books. You should totally check them out!
Here’s a note from the founder and a sample post that made me smile.
“I created this group to share my personal journey as a nerd, and to provide an open and supportive environment for Nerds and Geeks of any race, color, or creed to discuss Comics, Video Games, Entertainment, Sci-Fi, Books, Movies and more!
This group Is neutral ground and a place to share our love of all things nerdy!”

Figured I’d add another convenience link for you to click. 🙂 You’re welcome.
I kept him sacred
I circled him
finding his flaws In every inch of my poetry
I don’t touch him because
he’s my own sacred shrine
untouched by human artists
Untouched by the words of man
Only to be described in silence by the divine
Whether you believe in that type of thing
or not
he’ll tell you to believe and behind him
I’d nod, yes, conflicted
I want him as my own
but I want the world to know this sacred
feeling I can’t afford to lose.

Q & A
lovely words ❤
I feel her pain at a distance
Or could it be mine?
Is there a difference?
Edgy
This world is edgy
everywhere I step
I find edge
Or maybe it’s because I walk along it
This last time got too close for comfort
I better find myself further from the edge
before I fall over it
Love Notes from my Spine
I’m holding you up
like a puppet on a string
but you have to move your own arms and legs
You can do this, I shout from behind
I support your rapid decline
and slow ascension
Rolling down has momentum
it’s the act of Sisyphus that brings progress.

I take a sip and my vision comes clear
My thoughts come from behind my skull
and hallucinations would plague me
if they weren’t the object of my reseach
Sleep after a glass of relaxation
my feminine eyes narrow and
disperse into the horizon where
wind meets the lips of God
And when the can is empty
I’m woman no more.

Connections
These hands write and write
Wandering into the crevices between my floor boards
I thought I heard a bed bug
It’s causing this insane itch
There’s a connection, I know it
Maybe it was that night with the Russian
The silly thing must want me to
teach it English.
Or it’s sent from a lover who’s
on the other side of the wind.
Maybe it bit Einstein cuz it
walks around whispering, “It’s all relative.”
As long as it doesn’t get under the wallpaper,
I’m sure I saw it wink when I swallowed that one man whole
I survived, and you must know,
Eating an entire man
Could kill you.

Give Me A Name
The poetry of Adam sucked
into the cosmos
imagined before it had a name
These white eyes laced with fear
guide her into the flame
of God
Her bloom leaves behind
a rosie smear
Yesterday a whore
today a consecrated marriage
never touched
An unholy relic
She’s my bride
We venture into the unknown
entwined
