The Sound of Truth

A collaborative poem by Kendra Harris. Jasmine Umenyi. Kori Harver! =)

Catch your tears in the ribbons of my heart.
Each tear holding a beat the ribbon of my heart couldn't speak.
Muted by your ribbons presence, captured by your tears embrace
As they seep deep within my skin
The secretion begins to race and I exhale. I breath out the pain that once restrained my joy.
The joy that I know no one can steal
Because it is instilled so deep within my being it overrides the pain of these worldly things
And I was taught joy was not of this world...so I began to redeem myself from the iniquities...the shame...the quilt.
The iniquities...the shame...the quilt. Built up and bandaged tight, by the persona I want the ribbons to believe.
Believe the complex truths within my heart
Because only my heart can solve the riddles behind these complex truths.
In my heart is you.
