A Crush Poem
Locations
Let us dance to soca music until our roots recognize each other
Until our souls intertwine in eternity’s playground
Where small island boy and skyscraper girl transform to homemade sorel
Co-Op city love
Enjoy each other until crushing becomes building
Until building becomes stable
becomes structured
becomes livable
Until our hearts become livable
Until love becomes the cornerstone
becomes home
becomes resting place and comfort far beyond our dreams
Till we become our dreams and all the things we live for
You’re a potential dream
And I don’t know whether to grab for you or let me forget you
Because I’m always so afraid that I’ll wake up and there won’t be a you
in the morning
In reality
What’s the fun in life if free falling isn’t welcomed
If your arms aren’t waiting for me to weigh them down
Like baggage
Like doorframe after wedding night
Like hand grabbing broom jumping child holding
Like late night cuddled bed rest
Like rainy day and nothing to do
I just want to do nothing with you
Watch the motions of time run by without us
Because we are stuck in our moment
Our own creation of space
The closest thing to Heaven
Where we are Godly imperfections
Just trying to find the Christ in us
Wingless angels trying to find flight in our feet
Looking for holy in each other’s palms
Thinking if we hold on tight enough we’ll reach divinity
That we’ll be the perfect fit
Where we find all that we were ever looking for
Just from the beauty in each other’s embrace
