Ghettias poem

a1

Sweet.so sweet, I can say this:

Like this:

How sweet? It is once to know.

To learn of the days of old.

Inside her, cannot find thee, she.

She is me.

Out of Africa, fair maiden. Canst she be?

She shall. I will not destroy my body.

I shall not cast my hopes aside;

I cannot leave my loves behind.

He gravest me as a gift;

I cherish the day you were born.

You carried me in and out of seas.

You remain to love me.

Canst know my name-

Exchange me! Moi? There will be trouble.

Who’s to blame I’d dare ask?

Who will heal me whom lost her?

Will I become an outcast?

Oftentimes, on your return:

Me too! Listen to me awhile,

How my sprit yearns to learn of you.

First, you came unto me:

I felt love deep inside of thee.

Hidden in the belly of a cistern.

I will answer- Oh, I will.

Because, I am sepulchre. I always will.

Time will tell! Better than these thrill(s).

You cannot find me...

Second phase returned unto me,

My heart bleeds and love fill thy void.

There are others covered by love rewards.

Did you come close- come close to sleekest me.

To be honest, the magic card

Will not harm any of you, surely.

-Pause-

Now, listen to me, closely.

Firsthand, your voice is booming;

High as the trees causing discerning.

Your voice is pleasant.

In filling me whom they assume my incense

Is in remorse. Doomed. Evil. Lost forever.

Never...Your voice soothes me

Singing. Sweet and low

swinging low as the chariots be

And...then the summer breeze blows.

Field of flowers outside the window:

I am that field. I shalt know.

I am going to peek in tomorrow.

Tomorrow can never be erased;

These not cease.

What becomes of you and me?!

I am better than them.

I am a champion. Ahem...

I am far fairer than rubies.

Yes, we shall live in a place high above....

I want to answer your dream;

I will answer your prayer it seems.

Again...and again.

I am not going to like whom?

Who did this? Where are they?

I will not rest til I make your enemies

Thy footstool. Bare. No, gloom.

Do not be in dismay for...

I loved you too.

So much more than my soul.

Souls can answer these...

Please.

e5

Phase two- Ready for a round anew.

Where are you? Sweetest clue.

You canst see me? Cannot witness two.

That’s okay..I have eyes for two.

All is well, tenderest Blind Mary glee.

I had eyes like this once.

She knows I lost sight of all this rush;

rush hour blues.

Well besides, this we’ve paid our dues.

Let us make haste to reach Him.

I adore you reading the Bible.

Voice makes the heavenlies listen.

Pray. Sing.....Dance. I m able.

Andwhensoever, you open your eyes

Sing me a lullaby!

I can always jump for joy!

I will never ask why...

You are perfect to me. I love you as you are.

Sweet..oh,sweet memories...

More than precious I sing of thee

Fondly.

The day you could see!?!!

I was reborn inside of you.

Just a glimmer...a wink..a doting...

Oh, Jesus well, blink.

I thanked God everyday.

When you saw the sunlight or

Gaze on me today from afar

Casting mine beam from

Nature onto your sprit!

You saw me. You gifted me.

Yea, He lifted me...

So what sparrows be!

Fine with me...

So glad you tried to glimpse me!!!!

Forever, I will guard thee.

This is how the caged bird sings?
