Number 7

Location

How I feel

Its hard to think with all these emotions running wildly in to this sink

I blink and rethink as a sounds escapes my lips, your lips

I forget effortlessly all the warnings my koro gave me

Your finger tips glide swiftly aside your curl that falls

Gracefully from my heaven

 

Insert lie number 7: I don't love you

As my tongue clips the final word its like a dagger into my own  heart

I dive head first into an oblivion of darkness

There I lay watching my body go through all the motions

As if I'd sipped a potion where my soul has left

Permanent

 

My eyes dart away from your bright green hues of sand

You grab my hand your hand

Interlocked my minds in shock

My body quivers and shivers into an epic failure

My mind screams out but my mouth sealed shut

My voice is muted diluted with the rush of the crush

The weight of your words strike me down

I fall head over heels

Love. No

 

Your eyes beam the light of heaven 

Insert truth number 7: 

Your mind is like a maze of knowledge Alexandria can not compare

Your soul is attached eternally to mine No regard for time

Your presence your grace seem to fill this space

In the name of love a dove descended transcended from above

You and I fitting perfectly like a glove

 

They hover over me like pigs to the slaughter

I am your daughter

In time the cynical inclined disputed the reputed knowledge of my whereabouts 

Delivered a belting with welting I cry

Lacktating shouts about crazy miseries intrepid mysteries

Evolving and disolving the love descended from above

 

I love you you say

Why me? Automatically

They say kindness is a language that the deaf can hear

And the blind can see

Is that why when were together its like a dream

I always hear your soft caressing tone

I always feel your loving touch

And yet it never seems to be enough

 

You teach people to trust themselves

And as I watch I learn how to discern one from another 

Just like you taught my mother

You say fire annihilates all and water cleanses 

So annihilate the hate at a rapid rate and cleanse my heart and soul

Delivered free bold

I love you

Number 7
