It is said, "We must be careful what we wish for."
Or does the Almighty preside when we're lonely?
I believe in the visible and invisible.
It haunted me
Sedated me
Morning, noon and night
It blurred my sight.
Invisible to everyone
I was bogged by steam and fog
You could say I felt giddy
I was somebody, hidden by
Traumas barging in, and
Muted by old school sayings
Green stilled my mind
Though smooth chocolate was I.
The smell of salt and Sea
The sight of pastels on canvas of sky
Those fishermen casting nets, dawn and eve
The sound of seagulls fishing
The Caribbean Sea was near, yet foreign.
I was lone virgin, when
I called you forth as friend
Together, we'd strum cords of life
Surely, we would learn wrong from right.
I would love the color blue again
And savor perfume from wild flowers
And sea breeze
And share with you my past;
Each limit of view I knew.
Never again would I ingest loneliness
My future I'd share with you, my friend
I felt it in my bones.
