The One Denied Me

 You illogically crossed my path
fate made sure
carefully measured my exposure
she with energy of a thousand suns
too big a dose
could make a young Boy explode

Loaded to the brim
with everything
any man would desire
beauty, talent,countenance of Royalty
deep deep down
a young girls vulnerability

a precious trait
shared with me
pure Naturality
in frame
so brief

our times were measured
to protect this mortal
from collapsing below
a Songbird`s chanelled spell

Chanelled from heaven
sometimes from hell
the hell of endless nightfalls
frozen in chill

Chanelled from pain
Sometimes from thrill
the thrill of dancing carefree
as a young brown skinned girl

a girl I ALMOST knew
a few years too late
had I known you back then
would it change our fate?

we would have been friends
of this theres no doubt
but such early union
might have snuffed LOVER`s flame out

Destiny gently pulled musical Strings
giving occassional contact
just enough to keep sanity intact
there were tasks to complete
roads to follow
navigation impossible
if our true bond exposed

I miss that young girl
the one denied me
I bet she was a pissah
bold and sassy

during that stretch
our liberal folks would dissuade
our kinship of innocent souls
due solely to "race"

the higher powers
allowed us aquaint ourselves
over the course of years
a fine wine
this aquaintance matured
appearing again
amidst powerful lures

intimate communion
no act of chance
from mature perspective
commence this new dance

in natural future
amidst network explosion
conditions exist
for obstacle's erosion

there is no race
no religion
no Ocean
nothing
except deepest emotion
unseen

yet

a sensual rush
through our bones
without grounds
there exists
sincere devotion

its not about sex
though sex makes itself heard
our bodies crumble
under weight of mere words

intense reaction
built on foundation
of Love borne
from endless incubation

Oh baby,
this is
All so old-fashioned
so are WE
so perfectly balanced

who still writes
in this staid form of poetry?
who cant wait to read it
pour over each word carefully?

Romeo and Juliet
Anthony and Cleopatra,
Adam and Eve
David and Bathsheba

Sister and brother
passionate Lovers

blessed or doomed
meant for each other
