Numerology: The Curse Of 812

Numerology: The Curse Of 812

A Poem by Laurence Bellinger
"

Struggles 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....
