Used.To.Love (written by me)

♥♥♥

Two years ago, I started the tedious task of writing my first book of poetry. I keep a folder of my handwritten
notes & electronic versions of each poem, constantly reviewing them to make sure my intent is clear. I came 
across this poem and decided to share.
 

Used.To.Love 

I used to think of you

literally just 

you

it was as if heaven had 

unfolded its pillow-ee

layers to shower down

thoughts

that

penetrated my mind

beyond its perceived

capacity

at last a 

feeling

that was meant to be

true.

Truth you spoke (your eyes)

my dear matched mine

danced in a spiritual rhythm

only the badu in me could

define and I would have to

praise God get the

holy ghost make pancakes

from scratch squeeze juice 

from oranges from a plant whose

seeds were found on blessed ground

these things I would do to

repay you for these moments.

these moments when you have crossed my mind.
