#Wild Rose
Who will listen to my heart
When it beats as you are not here?
Who indeed will hear it and laugh so alike?
I am torn apart with thoughts of you
As you live across the rivers of distance
How worthless life has been in this wasteland
void of your smile,tears and laughter
Who will look upon my countenance to
offer arms of genuine solace.
I weep increasingly in the sadness of my loss
When the stars became planets you were there
And until the rivers sinks to be seas
My love for you will never cease
As I am lost amidst the extremes of choices
From the tone of your voice I linger
From the throbbing sight of your face I melt
From your love that is truly nature I cower
Yet I do not know what the future holds
If only they knew what poetry
drips out of your lips
You will be mine to own for eternity
In this little snap of moments so
Immense I will call to mind the smell
of your skin Black woman
Just as our ears were deaf to ridicule
I do indeed call you *WildRose*
I will look up your face
In joy And love you like
you were my addiction
Who will watch over me as I fall asleep?
