Kai Ford Poems

Tasting the pinkness of your lips as they yield a ripe nectar all their own
The stamp of your fingerprints cover my skin
There isn't a place unexplored on this map
Eyes locked leads to the intermingling of desires
...

12: 40am 11/25
This feeling has a name
One that forms on the tip of my tongue
But the muzzle of hope prevents me from uttering the letters
...

The scenario plays itself to the best of perfections
You're sitting there beside me
Blue eyes ablazed in the most aquatic way
Your heart &mind exposed to it's most amorous capacity
...

So...this part of my life seems a bit puzzling like a jigsaw
I am one piece and I know at some point I will have the other joined to me
to complete this wondrous picture created by the Father
I thought it was he but from the interaction w/he, my corners have lifted
...

Years, weeks, seconds never to be experienced again flooded my consciousness
I shuttered at the thought of your love's absence
Disbelief married with fear silenced me
In that instant, all I desired was a hope, not the truth.
...

What do I do with these receipts of
Time spent?

In tallying them, I noticed I spent more than I thought.
...

Raised voices bring forth an awareness of your inner being
The meant to be's seem to fade faster than my anger
I suppress my doubts to cling to my hope
The hope of the used to be's and the hope of what could've been
...

The scared look in your eyes gives to an awareness uncontemplated
You DO know her
My heart crumbles as I plead for you to confess your love for no one but me
All while the truth heads like a teenager's pimple
