Unscrambled Eggs - Nadia Brown (popular ebook readers .TXT) 📗

class="indentedpara1">when purpose is near

steering your aimless hands

preparing you to fly

into a future and a hope

Before

Before you were born

I loved you

before memory had its name

my love flowed like rivers

unending, seamless as infinity

I loved you

before clocks knew how to count

and dust could touch ground

before galaxies formed to constellation

my love poured

incessantly

I loved you

before atoms could fold into molecules

and air blew wind

before light inflamed moon

and time stretched to eternity

my love for you

starred the night

cannot be measured

by weights or degrees

is boundless

unfathomable

incandescent

Suppose

Imagine if failure could

be cleaned like laundry

and hours were prepared to wait

on someone else for a change

what if mountains

were slender trees

and flowers grew wings

in place of stems

imagine life as a chalkboard

where errors are erased

as unexpectedly as they are made

what if you could alter your steps

reach into the beginnings of history

and undo cancer

the prevalence of war

the makings of poverty

and its despair

What Love Is

As I speak your name

I can only wonder

if Shakespeare ever grappled you

was he too plagued by these thoughts

this perennial misgiving

you have baffled centuries

and your convolution makes me unsure

if Aristotle would understand

the depths at which you unfold

the underlying of your being

poetry is simply a name

but somehow I think that you

have sparked its form

gave birth to the meaning

it presently holds

and after all of this

I am still left not knowing

what love is
