Chante Reeves Poet Free verse

Where Spirits Never Die

I'LL DROWN IN COLD RIPPLES
AND I'LL PRAY TO MY ANCESTRAL GODDESSES
I'LL INFUSE REMNANTS OF MY PAST WITH HIS PERFECT FUTURE
OH HE IS, HE IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL THE MOCKINGBIRDS I OWN
I AM IN MY TINY ROOM REACHING, FOR THE TWILIGHT BEYOND MY WINDOW
I'LL DANCE WITH THE FRANGIPANI, ONLY PINKS, REDS, AND WHITES
AND I'LL CALL HIM VERMILION SINCE IT'S BLOTCHED ON HIS WINGS
I'LL DROWN IN HIS LUSCIOUS NATURE, HIS WITTY WAYS 
AND I'LL PRAY FOR HIS FREEDOM
LOVE IS PELLUCID
