Numerology: The Curse Of 812A Poem by Laurence BellingerStruggles of heartbreak...Never was the superstitious type Nor whatever other words But for a while i was cursed The broom and witch had merged Flying over Spreading her voodoo Her evil concoction of memories to haunt my peace at night Bottle caps trailed to my room as if ants had found a victim In the process my tolerance had grown and become strong though A few years ago... The curse.... Cursed Like a victim of Medusa from her eyes Her hair In the wind So stricking Serpentine Beauty came easy A smile that shone forth Cute nose That i didn't know that could grow Pinochio A body sculpted from an ancient architect Like "wow" against the odds And how time may scar A heart so divine... Our hearts used to skip together like children On her back were wings Didn't notice they were powder coated though Cause when she flew away I swear i saw another color Our love became powder before a fan Blown away And since she was on strings How fitting She would swing In the storm We had a weak foundation If it were as fine as those legs Then we'd be still standing If we had respect Respect for the other member in this play This race For two To cross the finish Checkered flag raising I see an opening But i aint tryna win I wanna tie Get wrapped up together and unwind Slight regret I didn't cross the line But knelt waistside and tasted the chalk The brink of pleasure Tasted so exquisite To later smell so Offensive The stench of stubborness has invaded the space i fiend She Her You All pronouns fit I was a victim of each grammatical error ever placed besides "I" Now I- Use these tears to irrigate fields To grow foilage among this hill This mountain Snow capped volcano Preserving his flame for the worthiest victim To erupt together in pleasure And our ash will rise far into the heavens To rain down and smother us in love Killing all the past Nourishing the present To flourish in the future Seedlings blossom as the flower does True love is like a breeze amidst the shade Glass of lemonade Cliche The heat of the moment can be oppressive if not proactive Heat leads to organ damage Heart failure Flatlinin... Now she claimin an organ donor So on this table she chose to die With tears in my eyes Goodbye... Sometimes i see her in her afterlife Deadened to emotions I used to be haunted But i had mastered this DIY class on exorcism Took me a minute.. So now everytime i see 812 I still think of you But not to mourn Not to say i wish things changed But to say... I guess... Sometimes i miss....
