A love supreme

2 years and counting
since he say she say
made we
By introducing her to she
And so on..
An immediate attraction
That turned
Into a domestic arrangement
With a prophecy of love
Thrown in-
And a surrogate family
For good measure.
Conflicting schedules
That makes the time
We do spend together
Precious like a topaz
Or ruby.
No complaints here.
But sometimes I do
Peak over my shoulder
At cupid’s disaster areas
And wonder if a love supreme
Can really last the course.
Stunting like our ancestors did
So many long long years ago.
I’ve never been perfect
But healings my thang
And a soothing balm
With aromatherapy oils
Mixed with flower essences
At ten past midnight
Never did any harm
To a wayward heart.
Perhaps we were just
Destined to be
Written somewhere
In Akashic records
Sung about in classic songs
By Marvin and Tammy
And polished by edits
On a film director’s floor.
Cut the gloss
And here I am
A breakneck black superman
Soaring amazing heights
And battling with my shadow side.
An epic with only one victor
One triumph eternal.
And you
It could take a lifetime to know
But I like what I see
Sincerely.
Just don’t look back in anger
Until we’ve crossed the finish line.
