Soul and Spirit

I did not choose on my on The soul chose And my spirit was obsessed I was content with the matters of my heart before But with one glance and a smile I found an eastern girl who stole my heart right away I wish to live her life and her mine I did not wait I ran to pursue her All these women in the world, still stubborn on one Tell me my dear is it only one man who ruined a chance for all of us? Let me teach you how to love Break my heart to mend yours For you have beauty that does not try yet looks best in a chitenge Cannot be hidden by a mask With unbraided hair she makes a blind man see The lame run to be consumed by the embers of her mother's brazier Hoping to spark a flame of love with the miss A stone on her father's roof declares my intentions As she comes out she looks like a 5 foot promise The rare reflection of God's heart The only star that deserves to outshine the moon She is sugar and I salt A bittersweet taste that this love has experienced years of drinking our ORS Their is a fragrance about her The sound of her name recalls it She is the one I wish to wake up next to Until we're seventy and cannot sweep her off her feet I love to interact with her mind In love with the experience of this old school love. I promise to always make you happy Write a poem for you As if you invested for me to do so. I wish to drink your gin and whiskey for eternity Hope not to stumble in the clutch of another woman's heart
