My World Begins And Ends With You Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

My World Begins And Ends With You



My world was steady, but couldn't adopt the pose
Though, when we met my world became rickety…
I sped into a place I'd never been before: in your space, then
quickly began filling cracks and crannies in a lost soul-
A contained soul wandering in a world befitting a pro…
Gasping for breathe, loosing energy...I could barely defend myself!

Soon after we met, we sat facing each other while dinning out.
My frail heart commenced singing the greatest love song- -
or was it Charlie Rich's record?
Then my foot slid out my shoe; then rode up his pant-leg,
slithering up his bare leg, and curled around his calf, and there
where my world begins and ends still.

Even after so many years, I'm still asking myself: could or should
You've known that his mother would everlastingly feel aggrieved
when finding out that her friend and son were in a relationship!
Saying to myself: since frustration high, energy vibration zapped.
I'm weary! Can a lost soul be loved from afar?
I've lived a fair number of years, and now ready to burn to ashes, and rise up like a Phoenix.

I had no intention- whatsoever- hurting neither you nor her
I fell in love not knowing where I'd fall, or upon whom… now
I fear my world ends without your smile; being deprived of
your dreamy eyes; and fear of drowning in the high tides of life
Most of all thanks for coming my way and saving my own soul
Eternally, I accept that my World Begins and Ends With You.
