...i have this urge to submerge myself in verbs and adjectives...relative…to this life i live...subliminal messages delivered through action words...just a hop, skip & a jump from what it is I deserve...disturbing perhaps that’s it’s so close yet out of my reach…deep plunge into the aquamarine lines across the notebook paper…I write…the urge to submerge myself in words can sometimes be deadly…so I come up for air…briefly…in despair…no life vest needed…when knee deep in it…poetry spit…legitimately living it…every verb, noun, & metaphor… i implore you to explore…my words.
What If?
what if I wanted to build with you…
from the ground up…
one step at a time….
what if I wanted you to hold me…
just hold me..
until the sun opened its eyes….
what if I needed to hear you say everything will be okay…
even if you werent sure that were the case…
what if my heart smiled at the thought of you…
even when I wasnt sure where our paths were headed….
what if I dreamt of life with you…
for better or for worse…
what if your voice soothed my soul…
and eased my pains….
what if I were to be your Queen…
and you my King….
what if I whined and and threw tantrums when I didnt get my way…
bc I knew eventually you would give in…
what if I thought of all the possiblities that could come from an “us”…
everyday…
what if I tucked the sun in nightly with thoughts of you in mind…
would you think I was crazy…
what if just thinking of seeing you made me all giddy and warm inside…
what if I pleasured myself and pretended it were you….
what if I walked into your life..
and remained there…
permanently….
what if when the lights went out…
I didnt close my eyes…
bc I wanted to be sure I wasnt dreaming…
what if everything you ever wanted in a woman…
you found in me…
what if my fairytale of happily ever after starred you…
what if I could cure your lonely nights with my presence…
what if all I ever did was try…would my efforts be enough….
what if you no longer had to worry when you would meet that special someone…
bc you finally found her in me…
what if I were willing to do everything in my power to make things work..
would you be as willing..
what if we came home to each other daily…
would you get tired of me….
what if I loved everything about you…
even your flaws and insecurities…
would you let me…
what if your hugs made me feel as though no one or nothing existed…
but us…
what if I wanted to be by your side…
during the good times AND the bad…
what if you were the only one who was able to force a gut busting laughter out of me…
would you humor me always…
what if all I ever asked for was for you to love me…
would you oblige….
what if I were able to show you the light….
would you walk the dark tunnel with me to get there…
what if your words brought tears to my eyes…
would you promise to write for me…
what if a kiss was all it took to seal the deal…
how quick would you place your lips upon mine…
what if I wanted to shout among the rooftops how much I loved you…
would you lend me a ladder…
what if I were you…
and you were me…
would that be okay with you….
