Love For Angel Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

I found her pulsating
in my heart in tandem
to the rhythm of my heart-beat,
bouncing up and down
with illimitable joy;
and sometimes in silent glee,
like a fetus
in a mother’s womb,
she would hold her breath
only to keep me from dancing
off my painted toes:
oft times as I travelled this road,
I pondered of her existence
like the wind whispering among
the old oak trees
that measured the stoned path
to my way back home;
and yesterday when I made
this trek without a freckle
of thought for distance or time
on my way back home,
she bounced into the palm
of my wandering mind:
for me to see the visual,
without a sliver of the virtual:
this love for Angel I found...
reeking of happiness like a treasure
deep in the ocean of my heart;
every meowing sound she made
was like music in the distance,
on my way back home.
