Poem: To The Words in My Head- Raeez Jacobs

I can't find the words

My world's gone weird

Momentarily

I thought you reappeared

And set my bed ablaze

With light followed

By sparks 

Made my heart ricochet 

After all the times i called

The nights i read your name in prayer

And gave up everything

So that i could have you

Or a little piece of you

You came like the war

I was never prepared for

Held me by a gasp

And took my breath away

Stunned and impassioned me 

My lips quivered to live in the shadow of the lips you pouted

In my world with the sun setting

In the scotch whiskey air

You gave me dreams 

And all i desired was the touch of your hand

And now i have you

And that i'm  yet to understand.
