the fact is (i need you)

the fact is (i need you)

your light brings still life

into the midst of my chaos,

drowning out proverbial sayings

and extra voices meant to weigh down.

lifting me up, the waves of the minds disturbance

lap at your beautiful feet not reaching, drowning

my potentiality,

your soothing voice strokes my ego, and

i not only believe i can, but i know...

i know i need you,

i need your touch, similar to the suns pure rays

on beautiful golden days, my skin blushes, deepens at your love,

i know i need your hands,

strong, but gentle feeding me life’s manna

ackee, saltfish, dumplings, doesn’t matter,

i know i need your mind,

determined to love mine, no matter my womanly ways,

moods, and high heeled attitudes,

your soul, speaks to me when distance is between,

and tears guide curled wires

leading your sophisticated roses back to me.

gone are the days, you and i were non existent to each other

a mere thought in the smile of the almighty

now that you are in my world, girlish wrists will burn in an attempt

to hold on.

walking all eternity, swimming exposed in salty tears,

lying my mishapen thoughts out to wither and dry.

so deep is my need for you

proving that serenity does exist

outside of the mind and well wishes

of astounded dreamers counting stars in bright skies.
