Unconditionally 42

when this rumble inside my chest stops
i will have 42 days to declare my love for you
42 days

that's how long i plan to live
after the last sunset falls into the ocean
42 days

on the 21st day
i'll turn my back on you
42 days

on the 31st day
i'll lend you a hand
42 days

and on the 41st day 
i'll make love to you by the fire
until the sea boils with anger
and the moon crashes into the sun
the forest will scream in horror
as each creature turns on one another
in one last sacrifice to nothingness

on the 41st day 
i'll make love to you
and fall asleep in your arms

42 days from now

she tells me
“there are no female angels”
and i smile

this long conversation
reaching out to me
over the vast expanse of love
i can’t help but wonder
how does her hand feel
when it’s enclosed in mine

i ran all the way to your house
just to tell you what i had remembered
but you were not home

so i waited

an hour

then another

27 days past me by
and i couldn’t understand
why you hadn’t returned
i waited so long i forgot
what i had ran there to tell you
today was the 42nd day
and i remembered
how your hand felt
enclosed in mine
today i remembered
i have 42 days
to return
this angel to heaven

this message will remain here permanently until a time designated in the original message given to the keeper of the light

it was in the 42nd moment of the 42nd day of the 42nd year after the last word was spoken from the evolved man that this poem was conceived, sent back through time and placed in a pre-determined location 
where those who might grasp the meaning would find a way to break the cycle and keep the angels here on earth for they are our only hope.....

young man there are female angels

you hold one in your arms

learn how to love unconditionally
