Courage Can't Breathe Unless You Give It Air

By Mechelle Kelly

I haven’t dated or kissed a woman, since 2006. I was working through some things. Once I emerged, I started praying before bed that God allow me to spend time with a woman who was best for me and I her while we slept...dreamed, so we could develop a rapport. I wanted to relieve us of the fear and awkwardness, and move us toward love. The poems are an awakening. Allowing myself to open up to being vulnerable, loving and being loved.
