16000
Caress me, lay down the ache within my soul
Rivulets of your spring reach fold under my armpit
Lift my web of deceit to myself out and throw the broom with persons to jump
Know me and hold me, help me to see your might
The effeferscent beginnings to trust in future bright
Longing and yearning for a man so far from me
Yet birthed this life
Missed his presence on birthdays
Only a card tacked together with sillouttes telling me nothing of you Just folk whose names reel off your tongue like birds taking flight
Sunshine grab me and stop me from the burn of the heat of inferno inside your realm
Stop asking to connect each dots
Thinking I will find him there standing with straw hat
Head tilted and hand open
Know with sure thing in mind that there is a spot
A beach a place, with friends and tribe
And that is my safe space
You left my father my love before you even arrived.
