Love
by Kellen Alexis Smith

 

A sort of somewhat poem &endash;

containing love

 

 

As I look into those big brown

Eyes of urs I feel a feeling so deep

& Profound that I'm @ a lost

For words - for once in my life

I wonder "How have u become

Such an important person n my world?"

 

I think back to the ancient world

Of my people & I see u as a beautiful

Prince deep

N thought about the brown

Earth of a land that is now lost

To u b'cus u have been torn from

Ur former life

& U were forced to become

 

Something that was beneath u &

Demeaned the deep

Complexity that was w/in ur

Sweet, sensual browness.

My dear Carmel Prince I feel the pain n

Ur life

I hear u cry everynight as u see those who would stop @ nothing to destroy ur

World

Just b'cus they R afraid of what u have become and what u could become

But I also know that they themselves R

Lost

 

They R lost N a web of lies that has

Become

The Noose n which they hang

Themselves. Lost &endash;

Lost & Never to B found &endash; the theme

Of their lives.

The mystifying trance of ur whole

Brown

Being leaves many of them lost. Ur

World

Is not the world that they built for u but

Ur own. Deep

That's how I see u. Like a big deep

Rooted tree. Ur legs & arms R like the

Big & brown

Trunk & limbs of an ancient oak. The

Life

That U R so filled w/ contains mostly

Joy that is lost

To those who don't understand that

This joy is of ur world

& Not theirs & they have become

 

Jealous of u. So Jealous that they

Stripped u from ur world

& Tried to contain u N theirs; trying to

Snuff out ur joy of life

As I sit here & take a long deep

Look @ my Prince's beautiful deep

Brown eyes I lose

Myself &endash; falling headlong into his world- lost is what I thought I became

But as he wrapped his arms around me & looked deeply into my brown Eyes I realized that w/ his love surrounding me N warm browness that I'd never become truly lost.

(Goodnight my Prince w/ Eyes of Brown.)
