In silence words sought refuge,
banging through the chest of my pen seeking release
I obliged as I let the ink of my words find acquaintance with the paper
Together we wrote tales of what was, is and will be
We tapped together to the melodies sung by the heart, to the heart and for the heart
We spoke rhymes as poetry now described our union
We brought to light the confessions of a lonely pen
We collectively explored the mysteries of a poetic soul
We told the tales of words unshared, skins untouched, wounds still raw and stories untold
We told stories of yesterday with no fear of prejudice as today gave freedom to tomorrow
Tomorrow was near and she had a plan, a plan to fulfil promises of yesterday,
therefore tomorrow was worth fighting for
We sheltered in inked tears, tapping to words yet to find liberation through rhymes, told of visions only seen in dreams with intentions to link heaven and earth
