Let's Fall In Love

Hello Lovies...poetry is the topic tonight. Below is a small poem I penned about a year ago. I don't have much to relay tonight, so....enjoy.



Let's Fall In Love

"Did he speak?" my mind is contemplating
Or is the quick tilt of your mouth just a tease of what I long for?
That glance, the way you gaze fixedly
Alone, I hold my arms in the air twirling in turns of merriment
The resonating voice in this mind yearns to be spoken aloud from my mouth
...Let's fall in love

Walking, with no real destination, forward...I pause
Legs locked up with stiffness and I discern it is you that I've encountered
Eyes collide from across the way
Head bowed in embarrassment as crimson heat spreads across my face
Unhurried I stroll towards you the seemingly figment of my imagination


"Can you speak?" I question of myself
Upon arrival to this destination I stare in admiration
Hand stretched to capture mine, I hear a symphony of words distantly
Cautiously my hand gravitates to yours and a new time is the present
No names yet exchanged, but more importantly expelled is this...
...Let's fall in love

Let's Say It Together..."I AM A WORKAHOLIC"

They say that the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem...so here goes nothing.

I...AM...A...WORKAHOLIC!!!



Yes, I am a workaholic and I know it. I honestly believe that I was born to be a workaholic, a "break my back because no one can be better than me unless I let them" hard worker. I was taught that a rigorous work ethic would be my flotation device in a world full of drowning procrastinators...thanks DAD. lol. I was also born in the year of the Ox. We have an extremely high propensity for working. When others are throwing in the towel exhausted and out of breath, that is when I am hitting my stride, my pace. I have yet to fully isolate if I like working just for the sake of working or if I'm in it for all the financial gains...((shrugs)) maybe it's both.



Now, the above statements aren't necessarily bad, but my constant need to be busy is starting to effect my health and my sanity. I have extreme insomnia...my brain is constantly plotting out my next move. I find only a moments peace in a 2 or 3hr rest and then I'm back at it. I also feel as if I am missing out on adventures and opportunities. I am a free spirit for sure...the wind is constantly trying to blow me to greener pastures, bluer skies, and crystal clear waters of possibilities, but my anchor has always been work ((I'm sure this is a feeling that most 9 to 5 corporate workers share with me)) lol.


Anywho, the other night when I was working out and listening to my iPod, Kanye West's song SPACESHIP came on. These few words are still echoing in my head.


"I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made sh*t. I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky"



Somehow...I'm gonna find away to fly my kite and be the kite at the same time. (if that makes any sense)...Somehow.

Thanks for listening to my thoughts of the day. I appreciate each and every one of you!! xoxo ♥

I'm Back & Better Than Ever

I'M BACK!!!!....& BETTER THAN EVER!!!


I felt like I needed to take a brief hiatus from blogging cause I had sooooo much going on in my life! Have you ever been so overwhelmed with life that you cant even effectively put into words what you're feeling? Well that's where my life has been the last 3 weeks. Now, don't get me wrong...I was not overwhelmed in the negative sense of the word...quite the opposite, in fact, I've been sooooo overwhelmed by the amazing things that have been happening in my life! I'm finally on the path to all my dreams and I don't intend to leave it.
MY DREAMS:
#1 Becoming a performing artist (vocally & theatrically)
#2 Finishing School (International Business Management & Journalism)
#3 Moving out of New Mexico (To Cali or Atlanta)
#4 Being in the same state as my AMAZING BOYFRIEND (I love him ♥)
#5 (back up plan) Being a Sports Agent if #1 doesn't work out

Those 5 goals, last year, seemed like an unimaginably tall mountain that I could never successfully reach the top of. I stressed and cried and prayed and cried and stressed some more...I almost gave up on some of the dreams too. But Lord knows, lol of course He knows, that I am not one to EVER give up on something I truly want. God gave me the strength to hold on and keep believing...and lo and behold, in his timing, God has set into motion each and every one of the 5 dreams I listed above. I am on my way to realizing all my dreams and that I could just SCREAM with excited me every second of the day!! lol. Patience is most definitely a virtue and it is one that God is constantly perfecting in me. I welcome the days ahead!



So, this is where I'm at lovies...this is where I want to stay...this is the time of my life and I'm living it up!!! Sooo....C.H.E.E.R.S!!! Cheers to dreams...Cheers to patience...Cheers to faith...Cheers to perseverance and never giving up...& Cheers to you lovies!



I hope you all are doing well!!! I'm hear to listen and share in your triumphs too!!
Be Blessed!!! xoxo ♥

The Story of Me...(preview)

• I am a story that must be told. Dont judge me by my cover take the time to read my soul •

This is a small quote out of my up-and-coming poem THE STORY OF ME. Just wanted to share a small thought.

Be Blessed Loves:

[Untitled]

Grrr....Im stuck at home again on this frantically windy night, listening to my ipod and reading over old poems again. There is nothing I love more then spending time reflecting over life...and the thing that inspires my wonderings the most is listening to music and writing down my feelings. Im not terribly good at song writing, but I am pretty good at voicing my feelings (past & present) through poetry!! Below is a poem that I have written and love, but cant quite find the right title for. Feel free to read and give me your suggestions. I'd be honored!!!






[Untitled]

Yes, I thought I must forsake life
And just turn myself into stone;
The desert wind fully suited me:
No heart, no soul; just bone.

Yes, I thought it would be foolish to attempt To yearn for something again;
Yearning turns to need, and then
transfigures into pain.

I laughed at people falling in love
at those who believed in someone's word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.

I lay alone and meditate
Sleeplessly in my bed,
So numb, so dumb, so icy, and cold,
Not realizing I was dead

And then you arrived and glistened
My life overflowing with snow
And saw the Spring of new life only love
Could appreciate and grow;

You made me feel so dazzling
I stripped off my cold, grey skin,
And opened the doors of my heart to you,
And, fearfully, let you in.

So now, my treasure, I am in love,
With everything that I've been through.
I know the ugliest of all the world,
And...above all, I believe in you.
Meisha Dwight

Dedicated to you...

Prayers of My Conscience

Every night provides a moment to reflect on the day that's past and your life as you see it now. Today has been a special day...One of relaxing, washing dogs, talking to my baby and ending with a lil tv, guitar time and hopefully sleep...but as of right now...my heart is reflecting and this is what it's speaking....



Guide me when my faith isnt faithful
Guide me when my strength isnt strong
Guide me when my peace isnt peaceful
Guide me when my right is wrong

Guide me with your patience when my patience is no longer
Guide me with your wisdom when the answers are indiscernible
Guide me with your presence when im feeling lost and desolate
Guide me with your spirit cause you are my only mentor, Lord.

These are the prayers of my conscience.




Welp lovies...Im off to bed. I enjoyed another day and enjoyed writing another post. I hope you enjoyed!!! *Be Blessed* xoxo

If I Never...Know This

Im here at home (opting to spend another night in rather then go out) and I decided that maybe it's time I share another passion of mine with you!! POETRY!! Being that I love music with ever fiber of my being, poetry (the lyrical quality of music) is also something that rests deep in my soul. Below is a poem that I wrote a couple years back...2008 to be exact...and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.

If I Never...Know This

If I never again feel the rain trickle on my face in the spring
Or hear the sweet hum of the breeze through the trees
If I never again see the rays of sunlight reach for the earth thru the clouds
Or walk the soft land beneath my feet


♥ Know this:
You awakened my life to the joys of knowing the difference of loving & being in love.
You gave me the hope of a future bright and luminous.
You smiled at me and melted the walls of my icy concerns.
You are my best friend and the man I love.

If I never again laugh at the great humors in life
Or cry for those things that could never be explained
If I never again see the sunrise awaken the horizon to my eyes
Or watch that same sun say good night to that which it warms


♥ Know this:
I remember the first day you looked into my eyes and saw my soul.
I feel your arms around me and utterly protected even though you aren't always there.
I whisper your name in my sleep cause my mind is constantly on you.
I see you for the man you are today and the man you will be in the future.


If I never again get to sing of the blessings that God has bestowed
Or dance to the rhythm of a life ever changing
If I never again get the chance to see your smiling face
Or watch the way you effortless live, love, and learn


♥ Know this:
One day soon we'll fly away
One day nothing but the love we have will matter
One day we will look back at our lives together and smile. Just smile

And in closing, if one day never comes…
I will always and forever know you as my love
Always and forever

Thanks for stopping by and spending another moment with me and my thoughts about the past, present and future. xoxo

Introducing Me!!

I love writing, so I can't wait to share my thoughts with you, but before I throw all my random thoughts your way, please allow me to introduce myself!! ((a drum roll here would be optimal...just to spice things up [shrugs]...but I guess I'll just have to deal))

My name is Meisha Dwight...((I preferably go by Meish or Meme tho)) and I am a student at the University of New Mexico; majoring in Business Management and Broadcast Journalism. I firmly believe that God has created me in His image...so I am...well, EXTRAORDINARY. I am a strong, independent woman of God, who is passionate about everything I do. I know where I'm from and I know where I want to go in life. I absolutely LOVE to SING. Music is one passion I could never live without...it is woven throughout every fiber of my spirit. I am also a SPORT FANATIC!!! I'm practically in love with every sport ever invented and my love for sports is another passion that keeps me overjoyed lol. It would take me YEARS to fully explain all that I am and all that I love...so I hope my blog, my random thoughts - my life lived out in words, will help you gain a better sense of Me.

Sincerely Me,
Meme

P.S. Feel free to comment on my blogs...I LOVE conversation!
