Lets call it poetry night.


Heavenly
By Ashley Bennett

It’s something closer to ecstasy
When you’re next to me
Like all paths led to this destiny
No matter how I try to escape it
No matter how many tried to grab it or take it
Away from you and I
&& we both know how hard they try
Its still here
We still fear
That touch of heaven that appears
When we’re near
And so we try to give our hearts to others
Like maybe they can help us gravitate away from each other
But we still remember givin’ hickeys in the park,
And long talks on my mothers telephone after dark
And those walks through the ghetto
With our love like a bulletproof vest
Cus there was no weapon to penetrate the strength in my chest
When I was with you
And anything you would ask for I would give you
Everyday a different love song of you swirling through my mental
And when my sanity returned I’d wonder what I’d gotten into
Cus my heart, it wasn’t in me, it was in you
My feelings had become more than superficial
Somethin like overnight, you turned perpetual darkness into light
&& Transformed from Mr. Wright to Mr. Right
To my delight or….wait
Cus I now I couldn’t shake myself from my lovestruck state
Your essence, heavy love, && I just couldn’t bear the weight
Nothing to do but shake your expectations from my shoulders
And focus on the task of moving onward, getting over
So I took the first excuse to make this fullness in me hollow
Boarded an evening bus and quietly told you not to follow
And I know that you’ll still be there for me on tomorrow because
What we have stretches over 967 miles
Over exes and best friends and unbelievable trials
It can’t be defined; lets call it timeless, priceless
Legacy left behind of us like the Goddess Isis
People still talk about us cus love shines despite us
The feelings between us growing and in time they might just
Overcome of us entirely, consume the strong willed
Even when sometimes we just wish that we could not feel
Sometimes I pray to heaven, pray to god so high above
Jesus let it be anything on earth, just not love

But then it’s always a step closer to ecstasy
When you’re next to me
So I guess I’ll just let it be
It’s Heavenly



Loves Dreams Never Ending
By Ashley Bennett

I smell roses on the table
&& hear rain on the roof
The rain might be all in my head
But of the roses I still have proof
I remember your chest as my pillow
As soft voices blend in the dark
Our lover’s dreams never ending
Thoughts paced to the beat of your heart
You talk about dreams of tomorrow
I talk about dreams of today
We talk about our dreams together
Afraid that we’ll get in our own way
Conflicted our love is unspoken
Restricted our love is unshown
And though promises sometimes broken
Through out all our love is still known
I reside in the inner workings of what used to be his heart
So I’m there to put back together what he thinks has fallen apart
And when his life seems without purpose I’m right there to get him on track
And on nights he feels like he’s worthless
I’m always there pulling him back
To the scent of roses on the table
And the sound of rain on the roof
The rain might’ve been all in my head
But of the roses I still have proof
Pull you back to your chest as my pillow
Pull you back to that voice in the dark
Pull you back to loves dreams never ending
Pull you back to the beat of your heart.
