a lil thing called LOVE

from the first time I saw you
when I looked into your eyes
I KNEW...
you were the one
I KNEW...
I had to have you
I had to be yours

when you said hello
the sincerity of your voice
the perfection of your smile
you were the most fascinating thing
I'd ever encountered
I was amazed by your character
your grace, your presence
perfection outdone
I was speechless
breathless

your touch had me mezmerized
I was unaware of the quality
I was trapped in your essence
by the soft caress
your soothing embrace
as you loved my body
my mind
but first my soul
you kissed me with
intelligence
your treasures devoted
to me
there was romance
affection and honor
in US
appreciation
worship
while we pleasured
one another
with intimate seduction

promiscuous actions revealed
US
bare,
stripped,
the truth,
unclothed,
BASIC

declaring US
available for all to see
it was just US
we had uncovered
the facts:

we were everlasting
we endured
we overcame
we were persistant
unbreakable
this thing they call love

it became ~US~

~A LOVE STORY~

UNCOVERED IN THE DARKNESS
TEARS OF ACID
BURNING THE FLESH
OFF THE FACE OF INNOCENSE
SLAIN TO LAY IN THE WASTE OF TIME
UNDRESSED
AFTER BEING
FORCED OPEN
STRAINED
UNSPEAKABLE ACTIONS
SILENT TORMENT
LONG CRIES
EYES CONNECTED
BLOOD STAINED
EMOTIONS,
REGRETS,
ANGERED DISTRESS
DISAPPOINTING WORDS
UNSPOKEN
IF LOOKS COULD KILL
AS THEY SOMETIMES
WILL
THE WOMB AND THE SEED
UNITED TO BE SEPERATED
SETIMENTS
UNCONTROLLED WAILING
FROM VIOLENCE
UNNECESSARY
CASUAL AND AVOIDABLE

BUT LOVE SHINED THROUGH
LIKE THE ADORATION
OF TIME
LIKE INSANE DEVOTION
WEAKNESS
AS HE WAS THERE
WHEN ALL ELSE
HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM HER
HE WAS THERE

Voice of Innocence

he fought himself
too wrapped (rapped) up
in the streets
letting the voice of reason
bring him down
never knowing
she truly lived & breathed
for him
he never understood
her actions
but like a child
she was crying out
crying for attention
for companionship

she was looking for
the father
that left her
to drown in her tears
to die in her misery
as she cried:

DADDY
why have you forsaken me?
you left me alone
you led me astray
you lied
cheated
and snatched
the voice of innocense

her soul was empty
her actions unexplained
she used her body
and abused her body
for men
unworthy
undeserving
but most of all
unwilling
to accept her
she longed for acceptance
cried out for acceptance
needed acceptance

but all he saw
was a woman
seducing
abusing
inviting
and enticing
he would look at her
and judge her
he couldn't imagine her
he never looked in her
to unveil
the deformity
of her soul

while all along
there was
silence tormenting
her aching soul
she fought and struggled
to rid herself
of the past
but he was there
to remind her
to hold the broken mirror
for her
so she could see
at every glance
who she truly was
he pointed the finger
laughed out loud
giving guilt
handing her shame
spoon feeding her
the past
day after rainy day
night after pitch black night
never understanding
the girl she was
still crying:

DADDY
why have you forsaken me?
you left me alone
you led me astray
you lied
cheated
and snatched
the voice of innocense
