Dearly Beloved

Dearly Beloved The hands that cradle and rock little lambs to sheep With you The sky is blue The grass is green With you, the sun shines in the nighttime You can say nothing at all Yet I’m in awe I bleed for you I breathe for your love Your tears break my heart I fall apart When my head is wild with grays I want to see your face And feel the warmth of your embrace I need you now ever than before A firm yet gentle hold of your hand Gives me assurance that you will never be too far behind I’ve cherished those moments You rocking me Like a lost soul redeemed So scared to let go But it’s your time I cannot keep you alive I’ve rarely said this But I love you And all that you do To show me that you do, too You whose hands Washed my face Cloth diaper and sanitary napkin When my head is wild with grays I want to see your face At once I was lacking Yet I conquered all With your love And the sky above Hold on, they told me Be strong If not for you, for her that begotten you There’s no place I’d rather be Than under the shield of your safety With my sunshine The rain subsides You rescue me When I needed saving If I am of no use Others can dispute But with you ,there’s an excuse Gravity keeps us centered in love Butterflies Ocean pearls And unicorns Fill our minds We’re both women and girls in our own way And twins sisters from different worlds Life has burdened us with more than we could ever carry But we managed to get away And find our place on the table My red rose My budding bloom My sweet perfume My forever womb Marckincia Jean Free verse 11/06/19
