Scriptures

today,
i'm plaiting these words
with the hands of affection
& rooting it in the palms of love

frankly,
i miss you
from the day you accepted my citizenship in your heart
every part of me has always thirsted for you

like a baby
i'm still learning how to speak
for my lips holds the memory of our first kiss

every time 
your presence resides in the chest of mine
the glances of your smile fill my heart with joy
truth be told, i have painted your smile all over my heart 
to shimmer my many scars

i wish i could clay myself into a wind
sail over to you & wrap you in warmness
whenever you are far away from me
that i may always be nearer to you

if loving you becomes a sin
i will nail our bond to God's Word
clay you like a rib & place you back into me
for eternity is our bond
