"Its so crazy... I got everything in the world figured out, but I can't seem to find what REAL LOVE is about..." Kanye West
Lately...
I've been pondering the idea of what it means to clasp hands in public places and
carry on conversations questioning Barack's foreign policies, and tensions in Palenstine...
Been wanting to run my fingers through rough tangled curls on smooth brown skin...
Sat back and actually contemplated the possibility of butterflies fluttering in the pit of my stomach... Jumping up and leaping forth from my mouth as I speak in his direction...
Lately...
On some not too isolated humid night, when its raining or when its sunny, and its as if God herself is smiling down on me, hot and bursting with light... or when I come from some workout watching dreamy eyed folks walk hand in hand with no knowledge of anyone else outside of each other...Their gait and their hearts beating in the same weird syncopation... Hands clasped and smiling... For they're beyond the world I live in... floating pass me on some invisible cloud of which I can only hope for...
And Lately...
Because "lately keeps" happening all the time in moments such as these... I stand there humbly, my feet firmly affixed to the ground watching lovers saunter over dirty asphault as if its a ballroom dance floor, I become completely aware of my reality and my singularity in it; and I began pondering what it must feel like...
What it must really feel like... To be in LOVE...
Gee, I wish I knew... :-( / :-)
