#026 Nikki Giovanni, 1997

When is the last time you took a day to admire how beautiful, how exciting, and how inspiring it feels to love? Not just romantically, but unconditionally. Let's practice the art of being in love with just being. Love the little moments just as big as the grand ones. Love because you can!

Starting my day with some juicy Love Poems from the notorious Nikki Giovanni.

That Day

if you've got the key

then i've got the door

let's do what we did

when we did it before


if you've got the time

i've got the way

let's do what we did

when we did it all day


you get the glass

i've got the wine

we'll do what we did

when we did it overtime


if you've got the dough

then i've got the heat

we can use my oven

til it's warm and sweet


i know i'm bold

coming on like this

but the good things in life

are too good to be missed


now time is money

and money is sweet

if you're busy baby

we can do it on our feet


we can do it on the floor

we can do it on the stair

we can do it on the couch

we can do it in the air


we can do it in the grass

and in case we get an itch

i can scratch it with my left hand

cause i'm really quite a witch


if we do it once a month

we can do it in time

if we do it once a week

we can do it in rhyme

if we do it every day

we can do it everyway

we can do it like we did it

when we did it

that day
