AGYEIWAA (a worldless poem)

AGYEIWAA (a wordless poem)
                  I
I want to write you a poem.         .   ..
One that  you alone                 .             ...
But none can read.                                ....
A poem that begins                              ...
With a weirdo pulling                        ..
Yo' hair as if he had in it             ..
Hidden his greatest treasure.
                II
          A poem with a beginning
                        But never an end
              A poem without words
           A poem not of this world
     A poem of a  world in which
                 You and I alone exist
A poem not inscribed on paper
A poem sighed from the heart
                III
             A fragrant sigh into the air
     One that you alone can breath
A poem about a conceived dream
            A dream yet to meet Time—
                                        the midwife
                IV
A poem that will seek to bind
Rap to poetry with a diamond
Ring.                   One                that
Will                                                never
Stop                                              glittering
In the                                           darkest
Realms                                      of time
...............                             .........                             
....................                   ............
........................           ..................
