Black Poetry : Blessed

[alyce]

you made me special
when you took me in your
thoughts and bathed me
in your heart’s pure love…

I am only flesh and blood
vulnerable to ills and
woes…
not impervious to pain
and suffering

but you made me
more ~ made me soar

and I can touch the heavens
when you take me in
your thoughts
warm me with your
love… filling me with
hope of things to come

I am only human
mistakes I’ve made…
too numerous to count
failed attempts at success,
could fill volumes

but

you make me beautiful
strong, courageous
and almost invincible
when you love me with
your mind, see me with
your heart…touch me with
invisible hands, feel me with
your soul

only you can
reach me where I live
inside

my soul was naked
until you found me,
clothed me in your love

…
and made me special

Alyce, 2001

a worker of miracles ~ could it be possible the way you ink your heart's innermost feelings exceeds your perfect, loving touch? I think not.

You are certainly blessed ~ and what man would not bestow his complete love and devotion upon one like you, A? You are most rare.
