Jazz

I have a strong need to elucidate my unfathomable love for
You,
named JAZZ

The improvisational sound of ragtime and jive.
Bop to the bebop of your rhythmic stride.

O  what you do.
You,
named JAZZ

As I rouse everyday to harmonious sounds.
Melodies of synthesizers playing, sotto voce, with Caribbean tinkling drums in the back 
round.
The speech of angels they say, basks in my head, 
as I take in the symphonic aftermath of every lyrical word you've ever said.

Its all about you baby,
named JAZZ

A conscious need to grasp the soulful nature of your exemplary existence.
I find myself in lifes conservatory alone, 
mindful of the studies orchestrated deep within.

Rhythms and beats, adagio and bold
Playing every note by ear as our souls overload.

Do you really know what you do?
Yeah you,
named JAZZ

Got me studying Musicology, 
when it should be Phraseology.
Got me humming to a melody, 
while paraphrasing unintelligently.
Cacology!
Thats poor pronunciation, if you don't understand.
Damn I'm still bouncing to the compositions of this mellifluent man.

I'm an astute sister, perceptive and wise.
Unmistakably creative in every word I devise.

But I lose control,
over you,
named JAZZ

Our hearts conveying beats per measure,
as they bridge between the gaps.
An opus of pure euphonic ecstasy
An arrangement of choral taps.

Can you see what I mean?
Incomprehensible I know.
But in this melodic finale.
His musical score steals the show.

A thrilling communion, with a primitive soul,
Fusion
between me
and you
named JAZZ

So now the tale has been told.

For He Is Love...........

An overwhelming feeling of fulfillment

As if I'd searched the exterior of mother earth for all eternity,

Finally reaching the core

And there he stands

He is love!

Employing every ingenious piece of man made apparatus I could obtain.

Attempting to pierce the barrier

Fighting against the limitations

Trying effortlessly to keep me from the center.

I can see him.

Although thick, the heart is translucent.

Giving me the power to form a mental image of what I'm driven to secure.

It appears to be so very close,

Yet, I've been tilling this land for a lifetime.

And my God am I tired!

But I refuse to give up!

I can see the aftermath of my blood, sweat and tears.

I can feel the unveiling of his passion from within..

Adoration, fondness, attentiveness, care, concern and hope

Sheer happiness, some sorrow, but amour in its truest form.

I see him there

He is love!

However, am I in love..

With a definite promise of uncertainty

Unsure of the results

A preempt feeling of possible negativity

Based on the way men appear to be today.

Indulging a bit of self doubt

Fear of my capability in keeping him near

Apprehension trying to vanquish my spirit, 

With speculation of the unknown.

But you know what, I don't care!

I am in love!

I can see him there waiting for me,

And each day well have to share.

I can feel his touch against my skin,

Sending pulsating heat from deep within.

I can visualize the joy I feel, as he looks into my eyes.

I can call to mind the implanted memories

Of each time he made me sigh.

And none of this causes fear.

I can't predict the shape of things

As I dig in to reach the Earth core.

The only certainty when I reach the nucleus,

Is that Ill reach the one I've prayed for.

I am in love, with his love

For he is love.

The Reality of Love

Love
Unconditional love
mysterious, undecipherable
ambiguous love.
Giving in to the uncertainty of the heart.
Embracing a notion of longevity,
commitment, inclusion
unequivocal bonds.
Love!
Ambiguous love.
A lifetime of fear from every direction whenever that simple word comes into play.
Summoning of a weary soul from it's resting place.
Symbiotic expressions of uncouth mess.
Perplexity,
bewildered states,
discombobulated thoughts,
ongoing attempt to muddle through the chaos, in an effort to not get lost.
Wait!
I did say love right?
Yeah, that's right!
Adoration, a certain fondness, friendship and warmth.
Our highest word in the language of our Lord.
Love!
to cherish, hold dear, to think of each day.
Shoot...you're crazy about,
can't live without, got you circling in round about ways.
That's love, ambiguous love.
One minute you're his sweetheart,
his honey, his flame.
You're the apple of your lovers eye,
her Romeo, her man.
You pine so deep for one another, captivating the soul.
Taken in by infallible passion,
a timeless romance unfolds.
But I did say ambiguous didn't I?
An uncertain love you see.
Being jilted, rejected, forsaken, and spurned.
You argue, you fight, and say things that really burn,
deep in the heart.
I've learned over time, that the love I seek,
won't come to be easy without a fierce battle to beat.
Fighting is necessary, if he's worth every swing.
Sacrificing is essential if she's an uncommon thing.
Compromise, 
understanding, forgiveness and honesty.
Genuine concern for the heart of your desire,
no skepticism, simply letting it be.
Stop trying to perfect an imperfect world,
it doesn't exist, trust me.
Your fight is a fight to sustain a common attraction, 
the future is unclear.
To hope for an unconditional love with little distraction,
is a fools cry made our of fear.
I wake up each day with my heart boiling over,
toward the man that's willing to fight.
Fight for the worth of adoring each other,
Ambiguous love is worth the plight.
Don't give up on love,
regardless to how it seems.
When you can stand firm in a battle of uncertainty,
you've found the reality of love and it's true meaning.

Unspoken Thoughts

Am I a fool?
I'd run the risk of losing you, just to get some sort of unspoken point across.
However,
fool or not,
you haven't been fair, 
and I deserve better.
I have been the best I can be with you.
I've shown you a part of me that no one has been priveledged to see.
I've given you who I am,
not completely, but naturally, none-the-less.
I've kept hidden the dissatisfaction'
muddled through the sorrow, not wanting to compromise the little position I've 
established in your life.
Only I can't do it anymore.
I can't pretend that all is well, when certainly it is not.
I can't continue to go about the day in make believe, thinking that things will 
simply work themselves out.
It won't.
I now know that.
I did nothing wrong.
I'm a good person, with a good heart.
I care for people in a way that most have never experienced,
myself included.
I love in such an unconditional way,
some would only dream of having an undying love given to them with little effort 
or concern for their own happiness.
Not me!
I just keep on loving.
No matter how many walls I run into head on.
Making every attempt that I know how,
to win some sort of warmth in return.
I can only be who I am.
if you can't except and appreciate that,
then you don't deserve me.
I  want to love you,
and feel that love in return.
I  tried to say that in every word spoken,
you mean the world to me.
Did I fail?
Have I given up?
I've given up the exertion on my part.
But never the HOPE.
I asked God to bless you,
bless me, 
bless us.
I don't want to lose you or let you go.
I don't want to turn and walk away.
What I want is YOU.
and if I have to release you , 
in an effort to get you the right way,
then I'll do just that.
I love you.
I've loved you since the day I laid eyes on you.
I've been in love with you since you revealed to me, what I could have in a man.
I'll love you forever,
because my heart knows you are for me.
You can't see me now.
But you'll see me soon.
I am that happiness and serenity you seek.
I'm that calm in the storm of life.
the shelter from the rain,
everything you've wanted in a woman.
Maybe you're afraid,
can't handle what I bring to the table.
or think you don't care.
But you do,
for that reason, I refuse to give up.
Days turn to months,
months to years,
but rest assure that in whatever time it takes.
God will never let you lose sight of what you have,
Which is ME!
Waiting here, for you to find your way to my heart for good.
