Between My Lines

Between My Lines

A Poem by Monique Jackson
"

Pretty self explanatory here...Or is it?

"

 

Let me take a step back

Into a zone not traveled

Bring you into my mind

Show you how it gets handled

 

Before I begin I must warn you

I travel in worlds never explored

My imagination holds all the keys

But only one can open up my doors

 

Sit back, relax, and enjoy my ride

This is not a process to be rushed

I truly believe in taking my time

Every minute, every second all mine

 

I need you to feel the words I say

Take your time from line to line

Study the flow until it marinates inside

Show me that you feel the spaces between the lines

 

I want you to promise me you understand

From the moment my mind let you enter in

I’m allowing you deeper access than ever before

So, deep that I get weak in the knees when you explore

 

From the crown of my head

To the very soles of my feet

Your soul has been united with me

Outside and in nothing but connection

 

Wondering if I needed more protection

Letting you travel these emotional grounds

My heartbeat is making intense thunderstorm sounds

Then again I like the reconstruction when you visit my town

 

Come while I take you just a little further

Keep going deeper through me until you’re lost

Too far inside of me to ever want to pull back out

Now, I have you right where I want you to ponder

 

You’ve been following along well

I forgot what I was teaching under this spell

We’re going to have to finish this some other time

I just needed you to sample the words between my lines

 

 

Sorry, that I have to go in a hurry

I didn’t mean to let you stay in so long

Just enough for you to make music to my song

But don’t worry I’ll call you back for the encore

 

When the lights come off

Everything attached is falling down

So, remember the spaces and margins you found

Because the next time we meet there will be no sample round
