Gemini Star
Deep within the bottom of my bottomless pit
lying here dwelling among these crumpled sheets
for I love you so much, desires soar every second
distorting usual activities
my air needs conditioning
My mind drifts back to just minutes before
when we were less than a couple
Distance can be defined in many ways
in miles or how far the heart sways
My extended nurtured hand travels to your soul
comforting and easing your mind with each gentle stroke
You were everything that my mind wanted
touching you breathlessly refusing to disturb
the sacredness of your warmth
These are moments that I was born to have
for the control you have over me allows me to forget
postponed joys and hostile situations
of jealousy and wicked foul play
that we both strongly survived
The world is so flushed with opposites
like the love and the hate
and one allows us to be numb to the other
believing the other ceases to exist
My loneliness is winning the fight
leaving a dark spot in my heart
seeking a cat scan therapy of light
The time now has come for my bottomless pit to be filled
with a successful operation measured so delightful
conducting a conversation without the use of words
but a dialogue of kisses, infinite embraces
opening closed eyes....I see the rest of our lives
Wouldn't it be nice to be devastated with butterfly jitters...
a spine-tingling warmth that makes your inner core quiver?
Contraverse
So to you, I deliver my hand in matrimony
no ring....just you, me, the sky and the
round sun that sets before me
I adore thee....with every facet of life
I am no longer "in-like" with you,
I am "in love" with you....
see the difference between "IK" and "OV"?
Cuz it would take a lifetime to relieve this life
I know I've seen you before, the opposite to loneliness
you're the antibody to the virus of life-I
can scan a thousand lands and the touch
of your soul to my hand
is the only ignition needed to properly build a tribal fam-
I see visions of ecstacy dancing in your eyes when I
happen to catch you glance
I see myself in your mirrored image, it's the face that tells stories
through wrinkled lines like linens- a shifted image and I see
the beginning of the Never Ending Story
starring you, Verse, and a golden blessing
more intertwined than double helix redressing
our hearts beat out Hip Hop love songs
with tales of hardships and pain
with a baby on the way, yet still you find light in the darkness
of tear soaked rain- next lifetime, I keep sayin-
pushed you away, and now there's no delaying, I'm staying
from now till the skies don't light up no more,
it's you I won't forget or ignore- it's you who gave me love
and me who you adore
so I ask you, surgeon of my soul
Do I need a facelift? cuz loneliness is gettin old.....
