Space Bound (His Version).

All that is left is to seal it with a kiss
In the morning cold, with the smell of a fresh day
Mine eyes meet your form
Your walk from a distance
Butterflies in my belly
As you draw closer
They turn to bees
As you become clearly visible
They turn to seeds
Growing in the company of love
Blossoming into a romance
Blooming into a bond
No longer the curves are speaking
But moreso your eyes are speeding
To meet mine at the point of need
To the point where i need to be
The man who will keep her heart
Feed it and tend to it
Helps when the heart has such a great body
And a voice to boot
Dont let me voice on the boo-T
And a personality to die for
Wonder why her fear is dead
Scared to death by her courage
Chased away by his carriage
Locked away in his carriage
Is her place in his heart.

Space Bound (Her Version).

You say "Space bound are we, so why put up limits"
I think you have a point
But when u live in a world
such as ours
where everything has boundaries 
and even love is calibrated
its hard to do that.

I got hurt
so did you
we both did
and we both healed
we went out into the world numb
one was tryna prove that if u love as u r meant to, the other person will eventually love you back
the other was tryna prove that u can live life without love on ur side

but we met
2yrs down the line
still it feels like it was yesterday
when u wrote ur number on a paper
that i lost within seconds of you turning around

but knowing what i was up against
i called
on that saturday
and we talked for hours
having barely known eacheother
and u drunk-called me
and u said so many things
most of which din' make sense

but as the eyes
grew to hugs
and the hugs
grew to hugs and a peck
and that grew to 
pulling a chair
and sitting for 15 minutes
and that grew to lunch
30 minutes
45 minutes
1 hour
...till boss lady got sour.

all this has a trend.
Its just a tornado meeting a volcano
as Emm in Emm wud put it
and sure, he's ryt, coz
I love you too much, to walk away. 

What Happens Now?

What happens now
that we are passed exchanging pleasantries
that we are done with small talk

We got past our hurdle
but every time i go down
memory lane
my heart shatters all over again.
Sometimes i think im not as over it as i thought i was.

How can a feeling so intense
be taken away by just an ounce of a memory?
Im thinking, love's gotta be stronger that this eigh?

(SMH).

Truths now lies
Life now dies
Assurance now causes an eye's
brow to rise;
and I am once more,
just but a shadow.

Uncertainty.

In the dangers of love, one must be allowed 
To posses "what if" and 'get out' clauses
Just in case one of you messes
And none of you apologizes.

So imagine how deep it has gone
For two proud souls to have the wherewithal to bend their knees
Stretch back and bend their backs
Take the fall and lose their stand
Just to get a footing and feeling of the other
Keeping in mind the gloating that's inevitable from the partner...
You wonder...

'T' makes all the difference.

The difference between a "touch" and an "ouch" is a "T",
So is the difference between "actual" and "tactual". - food for thought.

I was hopeless until He was nailed on a "T",
that proved to be the bridge, for me.

He saw me from a different "angle",
while all others saw, was just a big ol' "tangle".

His aim was to reach, "each" and everyone
in order to "teach", nor only preach.

He has always been my "ears"
especially when my heart was filled with "tears".

When others "teased"
all He did was "ease".

When the world wanted me to pay for my faults and put me on the "table" for all to see,
He told me not to be afraid, that He Is "Able".

He not only made me to believe I am a "winner",
He also promised that as far as my dreams were concerned, i could easily be a "twinner".

When friends offered "wine" for my troubles, and left me to the "wire" when the pain in the morning caught up,
He offered that He'd "twine" with me, and "twire" too.

Perfect Date.

She said:
"No thankyous"
"Please"
"I prefer my usual cash on the bed side table"

He was shocked,
so he walked to the dresser-
and did what he had to.

"Slam" the door shut.
She closed her eyes as it did.
She reached for the dresser, and took out a small box engraved "Forever Yours".

I want to, but I don't.

I want to accept, but i find my self not,

I want to love fully, but i hate often,

I want to trust sincerely, but i doubt always,

I want to be happy, but I'm mostly sad,

I want to cry after all this, but i'm too proud to show hurt, so i cry away from everyone.

I want to be respected, but i fall for those who do me wrong,

I am a good girl, but get intrigued by bad boys,

I keep going when i have every reason to give up, but i lose hope when faced with a small issue,

I make the most important decisions in the shower, and i lose focus at work meetings,

I want true happiness but I've been hurt so much, that somehow, 'hurt' is my comfort zone.

The Em in mE.

I feel sorry

for the me back then

the blind me

the unappreciated me

the sad me

the shy me

the me who was told its lame to dream...

But im glad i got to be that "me"

Coz its because of that "me", that i can get to be "em"

The Em everybody appreciates

The Em that dares to dream

The happy Em

The Em who is radiant and is always with an infectious laugh

The Em who expresses herself unapologetically. 

My Hero's Bleed...

Its an awkward feeling
When you get to be your hero's hero
It does feel weird
Coz you dont know what to say
How to say it
What to leave out
And when to listen.

Today i got to do a very tiny nano fraction of that
And i felt mighty helpless.
You see
When you know what your hero has taken you through
You never want them to feel alone even for one bit
And when they come to you
There is no room for tryzex
You have to nail it
You have to make them feel better than they came to you as.

Well, my hero
You may be down today
And i may have done nothing much to change that
All i can do is rock it
for us two
And hope that my joy can at the very least
Be contagious.

This is for you, yu and u.

Time passes for a reason

If it stood, still imagine what would never happen
People would be worse versions of themselves

And countries would never move on from their mistakes

Paradigm shifts would never occur
Nor would star crossed lovers find their paths.

I am of a lucky breed, this I know

Hated by many but treasured by more

Diversely wanting and innately craving

Truth from a soul and heart from the whole

Of a person so present their minds I nothing but adore.

The wholeness of your presence

The power of your essence

Humbled by everything you seem to do regardless.

I might be mumbling and rumbling but I’m glad it’s to you

I rarely find myself just speaking to thin air

But imagine how real it feels to have your scent in the air

All kinds of smells from you hug me and threaten to kidnap me

They send me to you - my captor - one who keeps me with such freedom

An open door for me to leave and a closed one when I’m in need

Somehow I contravene these misconceptions and enjoy your company

When you simply speak and express yourself unapologetically

If it's because I did something dumb or you simply expected better

My fears allayed but even at their height I chase helplessly after thee-

One who calms a troubled soul, one who contains the turbulence.

Aware of the perils in the waterfall, you jumped both feet in

Only to find a cold and callous soul

Yet you quickly knew this was just a rouse

Which you quickly set about to defuse

In real shock about how all of this turned out.

Sworn enemies in another life currently going out

Similarities and differences are few and far in between

I speak of expressing myself just that bit more freely

I may have lived a lie so long that I had started to believe it

I fought you with everything I had but too deep I kept sinking in

You have been so many things unto me I’m thinking you are an ET

So worry not when i keep calling you namesThat’s how many things you, yu and u, are to me.

All We Did.

It was special
in its own way

Soft
Tender
Gentle
Sensual
Mindful
Thoughtful

But that wasn't enough
that was not what was needed
that was not it

"Hold my hand"
but all we did was walk.
so when we got home

"Let's sing a song"
but all we did was stare at the movie screen.
so when we woke up

"Lets meet up and make a memory"
but all we did was work.
so when night time came

"Lets sit up and talk"
but all we did was fall asleep.

Now our 'picture-perfect' is faded
grown cold
to the soul
nothing seems to revive it.

That only means one thing
its done-
so we wake up and smell the coffee in our own special way.

NFL

As I stand in front of my small mirror to hold my hair up 

while getting ready to leave, you watch me as you sit on my bed

and your stare gives me ideas.

I start smiling an grinning, coz I know

your stare, aint just a stare

its an outburst

how bad you want me 

how hard you must be,

how quickly you'd call to cancel your plans.  

Adjusting my dress, teases you more 

and then you get up from my bed, and follow me.

You stand behind me

pressing your body up against mine 

your hands in my held up hair,

let it all down.

You breathe gently on my neck

as you move my hair to the side for a gentle kiss on my shoulder

your hands cup my breasts, and im out of breath  

You turn me around, and give me the stare again 

your eyes communicate such fervor

your grip communicates such need 

    

Then you realize that you are going too far, and just as you are going to pull back

I grab your face 

and share in a  swirled kiss 

then I realize, I'm going to be late…

I start rushing while my inner thighs are still damp 

from the you and I we just shared 

  

Now I’m at work, but still I 'm reminiscing seated at my desk,

of the hit and run we had earlier in the morn

and when no one is looking.. I sniff through my low buttoned blouse

there…… mmmmmm, I get off on the mix of you and I

then Sophia lets me down

and starts palpitating  

dripping I am...and my bra gets tighter 

I close my eyes

and amazingly my entire body quivers at the thought of you 

my New Found Love.
