MY SPACE

By Chelshi Loyall

The heartbeat races

in the ounce of time,

Curtains sweeps by the wind,

Giving my nostrils to breathe more,

My hair strands moves,

My sweating fades,

A little smile comes on my face

Across the window,

There was one big tree

It has more birds,

more than i've ever seen

A quiet room, i lived in, a dead bed

I laid in, never felt more alive,

Seeing those birds, the chirping put us

with a happy smile.

I cleaned the bed sheet, put some

Pillow covers, as there were people

coming to meet us.

Hours, months, years, has gone by,

I never said a single word,

i never did i tried

But this time, i opened a window of my room,

It gave me a wide view, i saw birds, trees,

The curtain again flew
