Love Jones
22 was the age when true love made me feel candid
21 was the age of that long search, I couldn't stand it
20 degrees cold best described the matters of my heart
19 was that interstate when our roads came to part
18 weeks to be exact, gave me time to re-evaluate
17 e-mails combined were my expressions to navigate
16 th of May, God had looked out for me
15 th chapter of Matthew, diminished dark days that clouded me
14 hours after when my destiny appeared
13 little steps I took to advance and hold her near
12 bags of groceries that I helped you carry
11 images and dreams that maybe one day we'll be married
10 of your precious fingers I fondly caress and kiss
9 poems I dedicate promising light to your abyss
8 Crescent Lane, the address of our first dance
7 th floor suite, where we both took a chance
6 in the morning as we committed breath collapsing sex
5 kt rings which signifies our commitment so blessed
4 eyewitnesses viewed the signing of our marriage licence
3 little words that emphasize our glorious union so timeless
2 of us embarking upon a journey till forever's forever
1 accord that will bond and strengthen us together
If I haven't told you before, man have you got a talent up your sleeve, in your veins, somedamnwhere! The 5kt ring was a nice gesture too. lol! Very beautiful poem.
