CHAPTER 1
Un·heard/adjective/ adjective: not heard or listened to.
Dueling hemispheres partake in an inconsistent exchange of thought. Soul-peering spheres are cracked opened and unleash their turmoil, covered by the soothing nature of a perfect innocence. Still mental exchanges give way to the tempest that is at hand. Harmonious blessings are received and intermingled with a dreadful silence. A bone-chilling breeze seizes control of warm hearts once beating in unison. The shuffling of Grimm's feet echoes in the mind's eye of clouded judgment. The promise of a new day gives him pleasure as he continues his torment. Perfect innocence has shunned his presence and welcomes his child no more. Holding the beautiful black cloak, he marches toward a dreary beginning, afraid no more of what is to come but fearful of not knowing what is behind. Loved ones are left with clear confusion and delectable disdain for answers unknown. Good-byes are yelled at the loudest pitch, but nothing is returned, for the path ahead respects not love and only feeds off the pain of dread.
Long·ing /'lôNGiNG/noun: a yearning desire.
God sent me here to speak to your soul. He charged me with protecting his asset. I am yours if you but whisper the words with your heart. Patiently I wait while longing to hold you. I caress you mentally and touch you in your deepest parts. So, if I died and came back again, the only thing I would want to stay the same would be you! You in my life, in my heart, in my mind, in my soul, in my presence!
En·gulf/ in'gelf, en'gelf/ verb (past tense): (of a natural force) sweep over (something) so as to surround or cover it completely.
Trapped in the smooth caverns of her femininity. I am trapped in the smooth caverns of her femininity; A last breath taken away before pleasure sets in. My mind skipped a beat as my heart stayed still. Narrowing eyes peer across a sea of uncertainty, chasing a horizon of fleeting hope, intertwined in the archaic battle of bedroom supremacy. Both lost in the dark, planting seeds of confusion. Cocooned in lust, their freedom lies in expelling the truth. Yet fear has clamped shut their mouths, ruining any chance for life to take flight.
Ha·ven/ 'haven/ noun: a place of safety or refuge.
In my perfect world, you are more than perfect. Your soul radiates a light that is unsurpassed by the sun. Heaven-sent is your name and protection your purpose. To know you is to love you. To hear your voice is a blessing of peace. The sight of you makes those blinded by life see again. Your presence is illuminating as you are mesmerizing. If the world ended in this moment and God spoke to me, thank you for her is all I'd ever say.
A·lone/ e'lon/ adjective & adverb: having no one else present; on one's own.
I lie free while calmed by the cool breeze, wrapped in a cocoon of soothing yet tormenting thoughts. Images of her smile comfort my longing to see her. Memories of her touch cause me to anticipate the next embrace. Mentally, I wonder if she thinks of me. Spiritually, I want to connect with her soul. Taking care of her emotionally and physically is a task I long for. But as I lie in this space, all I can say is that I'm happy just to know her.
Ped·es·tal/ 'pedestl/ noun: the base or support on which a statue, obelisk, or column is mounted.
You sit in a place of my heart that is inexplicably yours. Your happiness is my joy. Your pain is my sorrow. There is no rational reason for this. So, there must be a cosmic purpose. You are more amazing than you know and a delight to many a soul. I accept my place in this life, but you reject the role I have in yours.
Be·gin·ning/ be'giniNG/ noun: the point in time or space at which something starts.
Fleeting failing falling fragile is her heart. Sacred dimensions of her essence are explicitly written on his heart. A terrified happiness consumes her as she is awakened to her true reality. A past that was always fearful but is now no longer afraid of what God has for her. A seventh sense has been given to her that makes her realize what is truly for her. Her existence is now and forever changed because her heart is tamed, tamed by the new sunrise of possibilities of where her life can go. In exuberance, she rises daily as her soul is stirred by thoughts of him. Her past of fearful existence is no more as her life's reflections have been cleared. To now know that her once-lonely heart has a kindred spirit all its own is all she will ever know.
Fan·ta·sy/'fan(t)ese/ Noun: the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable.
I am daydreaming of a life away from here in a place where no one knows our past. In a place of uncontrollable bliss is where I want to be with you. These images run through my mind as desire races through my heart. Perfection is what lives between us as our mistakes of old become lessons for the future. Hand and hand, heart in heart is where we should be. Yet in this life, we stand apart but connected by an innate desire to hold each other's spirit. Though a shared language is not our daily experience, routine thoughts never cease. No matter where we go, I will be in you and you will be in me.
Tran·scend/ tran(t)'send/ verb: be or go beyond the range or limits of (something abstract, typically a conceptual field or division).
How dope am I. ...
I'm so dope because my dedication to success is relentless: an endless hunger to be the best versions of myself. I wake daily with a plan to conquer my goals and triumph over my weaknesses. I'm so unbelievably dope because I understand the importance of staying on point: staying on my game and being prepared for anything that comes my way. I'm blessed with an agile mind that stays moving because the haters don't stop hating. I'm so ridiculously dope because my passion runs deeper than the deepest abyss. I stay so focused that my visions have no choice but to become reality. I have mastered the law of attraction and speak into existence what is meant for me and only me. I'm unimaginably dope! Not because I say so but because that's how God made me. He...
