Love Story
I swallowed back butterflies into my stomach when I saw you,
Because you…
You make me nerves.
My eyes fluttered as my heart pitter-battered
At this angel disguised as a man.
His eyes sucked me in like quicksand,
And his lips whispered music from its creases.
He spoke to me without speaking…
And I loved him for that.
Heart attacks crowded my chest as he asked me my name.
I wondered the same of his,
Wanting to know what it would sound like beginning with Mrs. David Braswell
My hair stood up on the back of my neck,
And ran down my spine,
As I turned into putty in his hands,
I liked it there.
Connections began as we connected telepathically,
Then emotionally,
Equally we became best friends,
Then lovers,
Trapped in time capsules forever.
Your scent exhaled from your pores
And restored themselves in my clothes,
Then through my nose…
Reaching my brain.
So I contain a piece of you now.
Thank you.
I fantasized about our 1st date,
You know before it actually happened...
Taking place at I-Hop.
My heart stopped as you put strong limbs around my limber body.
I don’t remember feeling like this,
Our 1st kiss had my heart skipping beats.
You revived me with poetry,
And we flowed together.
Complimenting apples of each others eyes,
to my surprise,
I fell in love with loving me through you.
Can you understand that I'm still working on me?
“Maybe we outta think twice.
Before we start something nice.
No need to sacrifice the spice in our lives”
Heaven opened gates as your lips parted to ask me on bending knee to marry you.
Damn.
Two karate with 70 diamond thangs is not the reason you keep me shining,
Nor the reason why I said yes.
My heart says yes.
And I’ll continue to whisper it in your dreams,
As it beams life into your eardrums,
And becomes rhythmic with your soul.
So,
On July 7, 2007
I saw us at the alter,
Making altering life changes that cause us to become one.
I’m completed there…
And I love US for that.

Babygirl, I was so proud of you. This piece is beautiful. I know you were probably too nervous to see his face. Eb, he loves you in his soul, I dont think he even remembered there was a room full of other people. You could see it in his face....you two are blessings in each others lives.
I am blessed to be exposed to it and to be part of your extended family. I love you girl.
First time reader...WONDERFUL poem! Your expressions and symbolism is fantastic. Congrats and best wishes. You should read this poem on your wedding day.
