Right now I am interested in my personal growth as a human being, a spirit and as an actress. Life has thrown me many curve balls and they have been rough for me to handle, but I am bouncing back. No matter how hard it gets I continue to step up to the plate with GOD as my bat and take another swing. And the day I hit that homerun, I just know that all of this drama going on will come together and create the ultimate most amazing life....and I will get to live it!

Another Importance in my life is the website that my sister created and that I co-own with her by default..lol...no seriously, she has blessed me with the title of Co-Owner and I am trully grateful. It't the most HAPPENING POETIC SPOT ON THE NET...and will soon becoming to a town near you on tours and stuff...(future plans for TVA)...It's called The Verbal Artist. Link provided below. If you are a serious poet....JOIN TODAY!

I'd like to meet:

God (someday in the FAR future...), my future children, and the most amazing actress of them all.....Miss Halle BerryView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

BELOW ARE SOME SAMPLES OF POEMS WRITTEN BY YOURS TRULY: EMANI SULLIVAN AND THE COMPLETE POEM "SAY". ENJOY AND LEAVE COMMENTS IF YOU CHOOSE.
_________________________________________________________
---SAY © 2007 Emani Sullivan
Say that the sway in my hips don't invade your mind with sweet-bitter fantasies,
And I'll continue to walk away with no break in each stride.
Try to not tingle deep down inside at the glance of my face
And I promise to only move forward
never looking back
never lessening my pace.
Say that my touch has no meaning, no satisfaction or vibrating effect
And I will, unhesitant, gladly keep my hands only to myself.
When our eyes connect, say that the fire doesn't burn down your lungs
through your pelvis
And up around your back
And I will blow out all of the candles of my heart
And stop walking around with a match.
But when you say it
Say it like you mean it
Like you won't regret it
And I will never let you forget it.
Say that time didn't stop ticking the day we first kissed, licked and slit
And I will ask the universe to reimburse you 2 hours, 15 minutes and 33 seconds of pure bliss.
Say that our spirits have no past, no history from a previous life
And I will ask upon our God, if he can possible do a rewrite.
Tell me that I don't fulfill all of your wishes
And I'll be sure to grant it, forget and dismiss this.
But when you say it
Say it like you mean it
Repeat it
Like an affirmation
And maybe someday
You can mean it and in return
Begin to believe it.

Cancers
We are powerful beings
Outside the box thinkers
Like Revolutionary Speakers
Most can’t relate or handle it
But yet we stand and continue delivering
That shit that makes u think
Like" Oh shit, what the fuck was I thinking!?"
And soon u will become a believer in
Living to save the breathing
And giving to complete the needing
And hearing more than just the mainstream
But being present during the daydreams
Because contrary to popular belief
Its not just about "walking it out" or "making it rain"
Unless its raining tears of wisdom and change
For youngsters to catch in their mouths
And then they can talk it out onto the next generations
But they cant teach the unlearned
And they can't learn the unheard...
__________________________________________________________
---INTERTWINED © 2007 Emani Sullivan
Let me devour your soul
Like water to thirsty loins
I yearn for you
With anguish and pain
Can't seem to get to what they call "too close"
No matter how intertwined we become
I want to continue to go higher
Like a Hieros Gamos Ritual
I seek the God in you
So spiritual
With every inch of my body
It is so natural
And fulfilling
To be indulged by your manhood
Dominated by your presence
And redefined by your existence.../
__________________________________________________________
---SNOOZE CONTROL © 2007 Emani Sullivan
If I could sleep forever
I would....
Deduct my sanity from my life
And I will try to live in the surrealism of my dreams
Because it's in that, that I feel complete
It's then that I hold you til dawn
Caress your every curve
Intimately and entirely
Until stimulation is beyond breached
Like magnets we are drawn to each other
By some powerful force
Uncontrollably
Some energy that is undeniable
And we can't explain it
Or try to rationalize this
No need to detain weakness
No want to deny meant to be-ness
Because that would be the definition
Of impossibility
And it's in our dreams that we follow our hearts...
___________________________________________________________
---IMMORTAL LOVE © 2007 Emani Sullivan
Exhale slowly
So that I can chase the remaining oxygen molecules
That have entered into this masterpiece before me
And traveled through lungs of purity
While reaching for your heart
And then released for my consumption.
I inhale with no question...
___________________________________________________________
---A POETIC LOVE MOOD © 2007 Emani Sullivan
...I'm in the mood to molest your mind
About the unforgettable
Most dominating thought of love you own
The one you make reference to when describing
The meaning of
The feeling of
Love-making in it's purist form
I wonna enter into ecstasy
By riding on your memories
Of irrational sex-capades
The meeting of soul mates
Love's most hurtful betrayal
And "happily ever after" fairytales... __________________________________________________________
My mother means the world to me as well as my sister and grandparents! She is so beautiful and is an inspiration for me. The struggles she has come out from in life I can only strive to be as strong!

My Beautiful Mother=="
There she is again!

Emani and Alicia Keys
Emani and Andre 3000
Emani and Marlon Wayans
Emani and Jesse Powell
Emani and Ice Cube (Westside!)
Emani and Ashanti at BET Awards

Music:


Being a professional background dancer my opinion or my liking of music is based on beat. I pretty much like most songs that I can dance to. I try to stay away from songs that degrade women, but it's hard in today's society. Some of my favorite artist are: Indie Arie, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Keysha Cole, E-40, James Blunt, Life Jennings, Fantasia, Kelly Clarkson, Patti Labelle, Anita Baker, Mary J, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, The Supremes, Meshell N'Degeochello, Busta, Missy, Areosmith, Guns & Roses, Lisa Marie Presley, Micheal Jackson, PRINCE!, Tina Marie, Rick James, Anthony Hamilton, and my sister Ladessa Sullivan! Plus many more...

Movies:

Awwe, I live for movies: *LEAN ON ME (favorite of all time)*Brown Suger *Anger Management *The Color Purple *FACE OFF *BOOMERRANG *HARLEM NIGHTS *MATRIX *Lord Of The Rings *Harry Potter *COMING TO AMERICA *Riding In Cars With Boys *Fight Club *Jason's Lyric *Ocean's Twelve *Two Can Play That Game *Love and Basketball *Menace II Society *Sparkle (very old) *Breakfast Club *Five Heartbeats *Ray *Million Dollar Baby *Sling Blade *Forrest Gump *White Chicks *Rainman *LOSING ISIAH *Step Mom *Terms Of Endearments *Friday *Don't Be A Menace II South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood (lol) *The Jacket *What Dreams May come *BIG *You've Got Mail *I AM SAM *And many more....

Television:

I have a lot of old TV shows that I love and a few new ones! I love Reality TV....America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Flava of Love (hilarious!!!), Being Bobby Brown. Man there is, Will & Grace, which is so funny! I have every episode of the Wayans Bros on tape (VHS, yes I said it...VHS) since 1996! Martin (oldie but goodie), The Cosby Show, In Living Color, Girlfriends, That's So Raven, Wild N Out, Friends, The Dave Chappell Show , and that's pretty much it right now.

Books:

"The Sexual Healing Journey: A Guide for Survivors of Sexual Abuse" By: Wendy Maltz ...Being a survivor of molestation I find this book to be really helpful in my recovery. I am just thankful for this book because I am able to openly talk about it and have stopped blaming myself for something that was not of my control or asking.

"The Road To Power: Taking Control Of Your Life" By: Barbara Berger. This book is definately influential in my spritual growth. I recommend this book for all human beings who seek knowledge and development within themselves.
At this moment I am really interested in Christoper Rice novels. He is pretty darn good at writing fictional mystery novels. I enjoy his mother's books and decided to give him a try. I have read his second Novel: The Snow Garden, and am now working on the third: Light Before Day. I recommend them if you are into such novels.

Heroes:


I have only two hero's in the sense that I respect it in. My mother....
She is such a strong woman who raised two daughters without a father present and i have to say she did one hell of a job! She so special to me and just a wonderful person all together.
And my Grandpa (Papa) He is a Hero.

He fought in many wars and survived with two bullets still present in his body today. He helped raise me and became my father when a father was no where to be found. He spent his life raising my family, from my mom, my uncles, my aunt, and my sister and I and still asks for his great grandchildren to come! He is a walking hero in every aspect of the word.
