A Dedication Poem by Frankie Kamara

Sweet nothings like a leaf caught in a drift
Swaying elegantly in the breeze on a beautiful day
I absorbed the sound that then cycled in my mind
In turn my body cycled to the words she would say

I swelled up with heated passion
Consumed to the brink with feelings I once fought
I couldn't place a face to the goddess in my mind
But her face consistently triggered the thought

I languished, longing for the affection
She once endowed on me like grace from God
For an eternity my heart matured in darkness
Distant to the piercing light of the sun

But her extraordinary words were the fitting key
That unlocked the embryonic hope I didn't know
I had that laid dormant camouflaged amongst
The contravening bleakness of my trapped soul

The love had evanesced into another realm
Faded like a plucked rose, the petals of our connection
Palpably decayed and shrunk into a historic artifact
A relic, indicative of our ancient connection

But born out of time, was my sincere admiration
From the depth of my heart, the dark pool of discontent
Emerged a new found liking, subsequent to those words
That brought about a change from the 'me' that was hellbent

From the embryonic hope, arose an angel
A new life-form within me that now supports me
Eating away at the eclipse situated in the pit
Of my existence, helping me daily, weekly..
