Free Poem by Kandayia Ali

I NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO THINK- THAT THE TIME IT TOOK TO THINK YOU HAVE SOMETHING, YOU ALWAYS HAD TO PAY A PRICE. NO MATTER DAY OR NIGHT, 'NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE, ' IS WHAT PLAYED IN MY HEAD AT A CONTINUOUS RHYTHM. WRAPPED IN A SATIN COVERED BOX, IS HOW YOU WERE GIVEN...

TO ME? THIS CAN'T BE... SO MUCH POTENTIAL, AND ORIGINALITY, NOT TO MENTION YOUR SENSUAL MENTALITY. TREATING ME LIKE A BEAUTIFUL LINE FROM YOUR SELF WRITTEN POETRY... A PART OF YOU, I WISH I WAS JUST TO SEE AND BE ATTACHED TO- THE REST OF YOU... SOUNDS CRAZY? WELL BOO, YOU HAVE THE SKILLS THAT GIVE MY BODY CHILLS AND CURES ALL MY ILLS REPLACING THEM WITH THRILLS; YET YOU WERE DELIVERED TO ME, FREE..

THERE MUST BE A CATCH, BECAUSE EVEN THE BEST STUFF THAT IS ON SALE FOR LESS - COSTS - SOMETHING - AND YOU MY DEAR... HAVE CHARGED ME NOTHING...

MY EYES HAVE WITNESSED THE GIFT, THAT I UNWRAPPED UPLIFT MY SOUL
AND TAKE HOLD OF MY MENTAL 'BUTTERFLY' AND MADE IT FLY 'HIGH', I DON'T EVER WANNA LEAVE THE SKY... YOU ASK WHY? CAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN
NEW MEANING TO THE WORD GIFT.... I HAVE SOMETHING NOW THAT AT A PRICE
I COULD NEVER AFFORD AND TODAY I THANK THE LORD, BECAUSE, YOU CHOSE TO BE SENT TO ME; UNWRAPPING YOU, WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME. SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T PUT IN ANY CATEGORY! YOU ARE YOU AND YOU ARE MINE, AND MINE IS YOURS TIL THE END OF TIME- AS I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES, I SEE THE HEART THAT TO MY SURPRISE BEATS MY NAME AND - EVEN RIGHT NO, TO THIS DAY... IT BEATS EVEN STRONGER, WITHOUT SKIPS OR DELAY...
THIS GIFT, YOUR GIFT YOU HAVE SHARED WITH ME,

I WANT TO HAVE FOR ALL ETERNITY.. I WILL PLACE YOU BACK IN YOUR SATIN BOX WITH BOWS OF PLATINUM SHINE, BECAUSE WHAT I'VE GOTTEN FOR FREE, I WANT TO HOLD SACRED TO ME- IT'S TRULY DIVINE- AND I WANT TO KEEP TIL THE END OF TIME....
