My Life...In Words

My Life…In Words

 

 

I want a lover to stare into my eyes and ask, “Where have you been all my life?”

Treats me as the Nubian queen that I am

I speak these words with an unselfish tongue

Without doubt of my abilities to reciprocate

I pray not to leave this lifetime not experiencing true love

I seek connections of souls

Love of beauty

Appreciative of much

A brisk breeze on a spring day

Crackling logs on a cold winter night

The unique note of each string on my acoustic guitar

Rays from the sun

Light from the moon

The tears from the strongest

That ounce of will from the weak

Simple yet misunderstood

Liked but not known

Melodic dreams

Each day puts a tighter grip on my heart making it harder to breathe

Hopes that soul mates exist as do defibrillators

I’ve died many deaths in search of life

Wandered around like an orphaned child in need to be needed, wanting to be wanted

Hidden pains masked with happy faces

Shivering cold nights find me

I felt your heartbeat so I know you are near

I’m center stage and its standing room only

Never ending performances

Yet now I bow
