Spokenword.

Poem I wrote today.

Unconditional Love.

My heart

Is like an ocean

Crashing

Over and over again on

The shores of

my consciousness

The shores of

my words

they gently pull the sand inwards

towards it’s center it’s

beating, thrusting heart it’s

overwhelming calm it’s

overbearing exciting its totally

uninvited anxiety anger happiness peace love hate

forgiveness.

The ocean in my heart

It spills over through my mouth

Over the lips the rim and

Everything that I

Think, feel

Wish I could say, dare to say…

Sometimes it even leaks from between my legs

Rushing out into the world,

Overwhelming all and everything with this

Oceanic love this

Vast unending

Deep sea blue

Crystallized

Snow-like, soft

Warm, sunlight.

Oshun gave me this heart

Oshun gave me this heart so I can beat

Give my love to the world, beat

With everything for this world.

My oceanic heart.

It beats for the love that I gave

The love that was never returned

It beats for the hands I never held and for

The lips I never kissed the

Soft skin I’ve never touched

The gentle eyes that I never saw…

It beats for the hearts that go unknown

It beats for

The wild flowers being grown

It beats for

The babies of Mother Earth

It beats for

The sun goddess giving us her warmth

It beats for

Us all it

It beats for us all brotha it

It beats for us all it

It beats for us all sista it

It beats!

It beats.

Thank you, mother.
