Double E

I keep waiting for someone to call
With laughter and remorse
In their voice
To tell me I'd been pranked
And to expect a chime at the door in
5-4-3-2-1
But I know having Favor
Does not include ever
Seeing him
Seeing her
Seeing them
Six sets of eyes darting in wonderment
Over the Love inside he
That incited him to choose she
That eventually made me
In this realm again
I won't get that call
Because they within months
Of each other
Answered their calls
To shed flesh
And receive the keys to their homes
In the Infinite
They weren't perfect but
They together and alone
Obeyed the greatest commandment
And that was to Love
They are why I believe in Love
Why I refuse to pay mind to anything
Or anyone that is
Not about Love
Why I approach every angle of Life
Clad in the full armor of
Ready to knuckle up for Love
And if I should go down for Love?
Taken down by imps and simps
That know the glory but
Wanting me to stifle about their ploy
To destroy the power of Love?
I'll fall on my face as if I were in prayer
I'll do it smiling
Drawing my last breath...for Love
Because that's what they did
It's how they made it
Being Humans in this world
They weren't hateful
And why I don't want to be
I shall never forget being Chuleta
Their doe-eyed baby girl
The manifestation of
Patois, cane, canals
Flowing polleras
Jam-Pan essence and Afro curls
I can't forget them
Because everytime I look in
Truth's mirror
I see Fight
I see Submission
I see Struggle
I see the need to Educate
For Heaven or even Hell's sake
I see Family
I see 1 plus 1 equaling Eternity
I see a bow-legged Man
I see a scrawny young Miss
I see vows on a November day
I see their First Kiss
I see the American Dream
I see the Scum and the Cream
I see hair turning from black to Gray
I saw them here then *poof*
Gone away
I see it all, doncha know
See it all from burgundy cropped hair
To dainty ringed toe
I see Evan
I see Eve
I see Love Courageous and I am comforted
Because I see
Me
