She was my heart,
My soul,
My rock,
My strength,
My speech,
My words,
The reason I breath.

She was my matriarch,
My mother,
My grandmother,
The love of my life,
My wisdom,
My direction,
My guiding light.

She was my habit,
My highs,
The reason I walked on Cloud 9,
My blessing from God,
Simply pure and divine.

She was my confidant,
My confidence,
Even at times my common sense.

She was my smile,
My laugh,
My destination,
My path,
My wish,
My dream,
My patience,
My self esteem.

She was my sunshine,
My every angle,
You were my Earth Angel,
But now you have grown wings.

Don’t you know you’re so beautiful…
Like sun rays on a sunset
Like the altitude of a Lear Jet
I fly high on you
Your love sends me into outer space
I can travel distances beyond the moon
But yet I stay grounded,
Not letting my head swell like a hot air balloon

Baby don’t you know you are so wonderful…
Like the perfect meal I would eat you anytime of day or night
I call you my visionary because you restore my lost sight
Though I have never lost sight, of the way you make me feel
Your actions so tangible, that it makes these feelings so unreal

Lady don’t you know you are so marvelous…
How could I marvel less???
You mesmerize me
Every waking moment without you is spent fantasizing about you
What in the hell would my life be without you???

Darling don’t you know you’re irreplaceable…
Like a priceless gift
Or a kiss from your lips
You are one of a kind
Like the rituals from an original manuscript
I would read your body with my eyes
While I let my fingers trace your every line

My love don’t you know you’re so…

What would you do if i left you out of the blue
Would you cry for days on end
Break and bend because you lost your best friend
Pray to God let it be a nightmare so that you may reawaken to your dream
Dream in 3D and Color of a better time.
A better place, A better day, Lovely nights.

If I left you out of the blue
Would you suddenly remember, my value was more than sentimental
Like the drums, horn, and guitar in a three piece band
Would you see I was instrumental???

Our institution doesn’t require sanity
As long as it makes perfect sense to me and you.
But you left me out of the blue…
Granted, I took for granted…

You
Your simplicities,
Your intricacies,
The moments of sheer delight you provided me.
You were the only fountain I was able to drink from to insatiably quench me.
But you left me…

Out of the blue…

There is really no true way to understand the misunderstood aside from walking a mile in their shoes. And also understanding that in a perfect world they would be able to explain perfectly what they feel.  And in the same perfect world you would be able to completely understand and respect their perspective.  Unfortunately, this world we live in is far from perfect and understanding the misunderstood is near impossible if not just that.  People trounce their ideas and don’t really listen to what they are trying to get acroos to everyone…

Well enough on my soapbox… Obviously I have some history in this area but that is neither here nor there. I just wanted to get that off my chest. And now it is done.
