Genesis To RevelationA Poem by Dominique G WashingtonThe Beginning of a love story...In the beginning, the Creator made, He made you and he made me, From the foundation of the world, that is how it was planned to be, Before you my heart was bound, like the Israelites in Exodus, I needed a deliverer, my heart needed to be set free, The love you gave me was heavenly, innocent, raw, all it needed was to be cultivated, I knew you were the one sent to complete me long before we dated, Broken, I came into a love so pure, so true, and from the very beginning I never felt as if I was ever good enough for you, and I made the mistake that so many others do too, And I was hell-bent on never losing me, when the time came for me to lose you, I never thought that finding forever was a possibility, Because the love that I wanted, I couldn’t describe, I couldn’t define…it was foreign to me, Being vulnerable I equated to being weak, instead of inspiring life in my conversations, they always had a tone of death when I did choose to speak, You delivered me, but like the Israelites I rebelled because I never knew, what freedom, was, I didn’t know how to appreciate truly being free, The love between a husband and wife I was never taught, it I could never understand, and like Moses, I fell and never got a chance to reach the promised land, Here I am empty, waiting for a sign, a word or phrase, like they did in those dark days, I’m waiting for a messenger to deliver me the Good News, that even though we’re separated, you’re love I didn’t lose, I’m a man, and I’ll never be perfect, there is none perfect no not one, But like Adam needed Eve, I need you like the earth needs the sun, Like a two always needs a one, and to have you again I’d love you like God the Father loved God the Son, It says they that wait, shall not grow weary, and shall not faint, So on the grand architect of fate I’ll wait at heaven’s gate, I’ll wait for a word, or a phrase, or a vision, that it is time to burn down and escape my heart’s prison…prison is any life that does not have you, You were a part of me, and I became part of you, and like Jonah no matter how far away I run, I always end up running back to you, I’m waiting on the Good News to rain down like manna from heaven, I’m waiting on the vision to come to fruition of you and I standing before the Reverend, Before him, God, and family we do swear to be honest and true and work through all the things God brings us to, what he has brought together no man can destroy, This time will be different because I have the courage of a man, not the fear of a little boy, I want our love to be resurrected, cultivated, and perfected, because every time I see you it feels like it did when we first connected, There’s a shortness of breath, I forget how to speak, you are the only one besides my mom that’ll ever call me Nique Nique, I’ve doubted in the past, but I am now without doubt, In Him we can do all things but fail, and a love this strong can prevail against the test of time, and the Gates of Hell, In the beginning, he created…you and he made you for me, That was his plan, that’s the perfect order of the way things should be… Genesis, was the birth, simply the beginning of a love story, the best ever written, featuring a love so strong, yet so bittersweet, The Revelation is that we’re meant to be together and have a love story to complete… © 2016 Dominique G WashingtonAuthor's Note
