Soul Poem by Mikienna Joi

You stimulate my mind. You give my wearied soul rest. You illuminate the joy within me that brings forth my laughter. You soften me when I am unyielding. You bring my lips pure pleasure when I taste you. I promise if you captivate me like this continuously, then I will be capable of loving you the same; for always. But if you withhold from me or bequeath your love to another; then I will unable to acquiesce
.
You are the other half of me. Only you could take your half of me away leaving me incapable of loving completely. When I lay cradled in your arms…our bodies pressed together, hearts beating in time with each other’s, hands caressing each other’s skin, lips tasting each other, both of us intensely aware of the fire raging within, neither of us willing to douse the flame, falling asleep together, grasping each other as if one of us slipped away from the other, we would die… holding each other close breathing life into the other, I am complete.

My soul longs for yours. My skin tingles with anticipation when you are near. My breath catches at the sight of you. The wind whispers your melody in my ear, softly enticing me to dance to your rhythm. You have opened a floodgate of repressed and dormant emotion, swim to me or drown. Thank you for drawing my love to the surface. I desire to be in your presence, which gives me strength, yet renders me weak. I dance to the music of your laughter. I crave to breathe the air you exhale…do you understand how much I love you?

Can you feel me near you? Does your heart beat in time to mine? Do you exist to be an extension of our love? Do you ache with your need of me? Are you miserable when I am not content? Are we one? Can you feel my pulse quicken under your fingertips? Do you see the depth of our love in my eyes? Do you see the depth of our love in your mirrored reflection? Can you experience the rhythm of our soul’s joining? Can you render complete surrender to the mark I place in your spirit? Does your heart cradle my life within? Can you smell my scent…on your fingertips?

If I say to you, your mind, body, soul, and spirit echo mine; would you discern my aphorism? If I murmur that your molecular structure replicates mine; would it resonate within your soul?

Can you taste the fluid movement of our bodies ascending with rhythmic purpose? Our love flows unhindered by obscure humanity; inspired, stimulated, incited by rite of passage endowed upon us by Dunamis Deity. Do you revel in the gentle breeze that is my spirit? Do you tremble with gratification when we are entwined? Only one soul created for another soul can capitulate interpretation of two halves becoming one.
