Don’t Rush Me, Darling

Black woman in a rose satin dress calmly getting ready at her vanity while her Cuban boyfriend waits in the background.

why do you rush me, my dear?

don’t you know it takes time?

to be this pretty.

this majestic.

this captivating.

why do you rush?

don’t you know that patience,

yields the best results?

you cannot rush

what was created with care.

you cannot rush

the work of a Goddess.

you cannot rush me darling.

do not rush me… darling.

Divinely,

AD

*And if you’ve ever been rushed through your beauty ritual, or found yourself rushing someone else through theirs, I wrote a reflective piece about it too.


If my words have lingered with you, or you feel compelled to leave a note—or a rose of appreciation—you may reach me here.
