PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There was once this sunrise that dawned on me

And that entire day

All I could do was see you  

I thought, "Now, what has this brother done to me?"  

And, "When did his love capture me?"

I gradually noticed how you lay before me

Within  everything I see

Think

Feel and do

Touch

Taste

And want to be true

Yes - there was this sunrise that dawned upon me

And after that day I was all about you

I cannot seem to recall the exact moment you transpired

Not the greetings

Eatings

Or lengthy conversations

Nor the quiet evenings

Or devastatingly intimate situations

The dark sweetness of you

So sublime and so smooth

Your chocolate essence crept into that place

My very dark space

Enlightening thoughts and persuading feelings

Causing my heart to subdue and erase

As I looked behind me the past disappeared

For every time you loved me

Painful memories were transformed into a fear

Of the possibility of you...

What was I to do?

You felt so good to my insides

But at the time I was scared of taking that ride

Once again my heart has outdone me

I have given birth to a love for a man that can never be

Old 'time' is passing and definitely laughing

At the complexity of my involvement with you

I am left overwhelmed

With my heart heavily saddened

At the way time continues to ridicule my love

With a mere shadow of the truth

You see - this love I have conceived

Will never really know how to be....

I am not saying that we are some sort of fabrication

But as the seconds fly

The more I desire your love

The more I die

When I look at you I see love

Passion

Sincerity

And strength

The inside of your being attracts me

Just as much as your beautiful black skin

I love you

I want you

And I need you from deeply within

I crave the very taste you bestow upon my lips

I long for your touch

And the way you nestle so deeply in between my hips

I wish that you and I COULD be

I wish that I could one day call you MY FAMILY

I am writing all of this to you

Because soon I will be leaving this place

The thought of you loving someone else the way you love me

The way you kiss me and the way you hold me

Is more than I can bare

I    cannot    share...  

The thought of never seeing your face again

Your eyes

Your smile

Your dimples

I    cannot    win...

I pray for you all of the time

And I want so badly for you to be happy

Even     if     you     are     not     mine?

I will always care for you

Though it hurts like hell that we cannot be together

I was once told that if you love something

Than set it free

And it will come back if it is meant to be?

If you are not my fate and I am not yours

God will bid us on our journeys forever more

And if I AM your fate and you ARE mine

Than our paths shall cross again

And our destiny will survive until the end of time
