My Kind of Love

I'm realizing that this weekend has entailed lots of talk about love...whether it be good, bad, hopeful, negligent, dreamy, feared, loved, desired, adored, unhappy, content, or just a blur, the subject of love on a level of partnership has been in consumption (as if its not always, but again, there was just enough to reflect on). Rather than give a spill on my take or reiterating everything I've taken in and breathed out this weekend, I was inspired after reading my newly found kindred sis Keila's blog on love and an experience that defined her kind of love, I wanted to post something that represents mine. On of my other friends Miya (super talented tattoist/artist...def check him out of you haven't...now I think I may blog about him in general and also all of the work hes done for me...stay tuned) had a very interesting conversation too that gave me some perspective on love as well. Then per usual, Nyandia and I spoke for at least an hour in a Bank of America parking lot (lol) about love and marriage, and then also per usual Shalay and I had one of our 2+ hour long phone pow wow's about such things as well. Anyway, let me get to the point lol, heres a video of a very admirable poet named Shihan who is one of Def Poetry's regulars...I absolutely love this piece as again, it represents (or at least does a good job at trying to summarize) "My Kind of Love"...
