All In One Breath

By Ali Abdus-Shakur

All In One Breath is one poem meant to be read in one sitting. Unlike other incremental reads, All In One Breath is meant to submerge the reader in unrivaled passion & nonstop honesty. This book is about certainty, acceptance, & love. For none will truly love without having certainty of who they are unto self & of whom they're accepting within another. I intend to accomplish through this book what's become forgotten: intentional dedication.

Prelude

Moments

Moments are to have courage. Moments are to have cascading peaceful assurance. Moments. Moments are to learn the truth and be engulfed by its purity. Moments have purpose. Moments are rare. Moments are life changing. Moments are therapeutic. Moments. Moments are you. Moments are me. Moments are us ... and it seems promising where they will lead, where we remain moments unto one another as one moment at a time. One moment at a time.

For it is self evident where each moment will lead us ... into a complete life line,

a path aligned with red roses, purple orchids, white roses, pink roses, as we walk hand in hand, eating purple & white grapes from grape vines. One moment at a time. Moments. Moments!! Moments ... Are for us, So let's make time to be with each other.

For there is nothing of this world worth treasuring than the moments of purpose.

"We

can't let the world come between us

even on our worst day

sorta like ... a Mother

giving birth to her child

on the first day ...

I think of you, a lot more

than you think about me

& that hurts me ...

You've played so many games

throughout the course

of you life

you need a jersey

I've never met any woman like you

& you deserve me,

How do you feel ... what do you think,

do you deserve me?

I write you, as if talking

to you ... check my wordplay

But know for certain

every moment is real

far from a staged play

(consider this) ...

My future's ...

a sunshine

lit

highway

vices are removed

from my road

my path is God's way!

You've wondered if it's

all a hoax, a devious selfish mind game

I feel too rich in spirit

(just) to stoop

so low,

or lower my

gaze

While gazing at stars,

I'm devoted to living a

pious way,

a higher way

sometimes ... you
