I once heard life could be a dream
A gift, experimented in 3D
If you love the ones you got
And you got the ones you need
I once heard life formed
From reverberating "we"
I've seen precious love
All that matter
The gray brain is wider
Than the gray seas you'll travel
And hey
There's no sense in not
Love is the tea
Spilled from the kettle on the pot
And so it goes
Yeah you blacker than me
I once hung with the flowers
But was beggin' for the bees
Oh wow
Come slowly please
And ain't no time to not
Sip thy jessamines and
Imma smoke my pot
Blooming late at my flower
Round my chamber hums
And just bless the nectars
And get lost in my songs
Come to me, captain
Help me right me wrongs
Lost and then poof be gone
But the moral of the story
Is what we stand upon
Love is exactly
What was never wrong

And love is
Anterior to life
Posterior to death
An initial of the pride
Such destination
Pivotal to creation
A surrender in disguise
As an explanation
Love is, at best
An approximation
Love is the proof
Of determination
Loves built from the
Sincerity of waiting
Love is what you thought
That I'd be baiting

And we were there
In our moment of "nows"
Spinning webs we'll
Hold onto forever somehow
It took my some time but
I stood up and bowed
And the next time I see you
Best be bowing down
Here's what I know of the "nots"
Not the give what you get
Not the love what you gots
Not the love of a man
Not the shame of a thot
Not the sin of the pride
Not the poison of thought
Amen
Ain't no second strings
No take homes
No walk ons
No redos or things
It was not for the death
That I stood up to live on
Not for the change
I had made enough of
Not for the sounds
When they was not listening
Not the for the sights
Too blind to envision and
Not for the skies
That opened up with tears
It was not for the storms
That lasted 8 years
It was not for the purpose of infinity
It was not for D. CLINE
You deciphered in me
And it's more for knowing now
What I should have known then
It was not for fibers fraying our ends
Not for the young
And hell it won't for me
It was not for regrets
Though it's hard to see
It was not for the moments
We watched each other's back
Not for beauty overlooked
In the cracks
(Looking back)
I wonder what it would feel like
I wonder why you couldn't do right
I saw myself as your Northern Lights
Lit me up with your color
When the chemistry was right
I tried but
It was when you wont beside me
How dare you try to dodge
And hide me
Stitched my heart
With worn down stitching
The vagueness
Neglectful
Disrespectful bitching
Viciously viscous
Meaning to hard to cut through
The evidence say
I should have never have loved you
Clarity given from retrospection
It was not so easy
To impose intervention
Because

Love is
Anterior to life
Posterior to death
It's initial of the pride
It's a journey
It's not a destination
It's love seen in the eyes
Of initial creation
It's Love
Love (is)
