Poetry Contest Submission: "Soul Mate" - a poem written by Tarrance Branch


Soul Mate

Another rime?
It's about another time,
another night,
another day is gone of bright.
Another bill?
A dollar that I must reveal,
I feel a chill,
the "could" is giving me the ill's,
I have to go,
but yet I think I'm gonna stay,
she wants me now,
so yes we had to run away,
the girl was smart,
she has a decent sided heart,
a pretty smile,
can make a nigga walk a mile.
just to see her face,
I mean the girl is not a waste.
Who takes her place?
You're holding hands when at the Taste,
but she's your baby,
for ever, ever, ever? 
Maybe...
she's got me crazy,
because she's more than just a lady, 
my soul mate, 
 I tell you that she's more than great,
like five lakes,
and when I meet her I can't wait! 

But did I meet her?
Or did I let her slip away?
The girl was could,
could as my city I can say,...
this was deep, 
deep as the ocean past the creek,
I go to sleep,
wake up to sounds her rested beat!
So what's the matter?
Maybe I'm tweaking, nothing's wrong!
I ride around, 
thinking of never going home,
but it's a phase,
and maybe you then, had the blaze,
I walk away...
but tomorrow's yet to stay.
