OK so I loved this poem but I don't know what it is called..
It goes like this
Just some wings heart and a destiney to find you mine.
I adapted to your breath while I slept
But then I can't remember the rest except like
You my number seven
And something about
My east
If any one can help
Thanks

I wrote a poem that took me three and a half years to write only 3/4ths of. After the fourth year, the title came to me and I was able to finish it. Force and creativity do not mix. Take all the time in the world for your great work of art.

I googled as many keywords as I could, but nothing popped up. Can you remember any more of it?

Could this be part of the poem that you are looking for?
"..just some wings heart
and a destiny to find
you mine
i adapted to your
breath while you slept
did you know
i saw heaven in your
smile heard gospel
in your laugh
you my number
seven my east..."
Is there anything I can really say?

Here is another thing that might be all of the poem:
An excerpt from Suheir Hammad's spoken word poetry Angels Get No Maps
I
Just some wings heart
And a destiny to find
You mine
I adapted to your
Breath while I slept
Did you know
I saw heaven in your
Smile heard gospel
In your laugh
You my number
Seven my east
My hip
The hop
Finshed each other's
Thoughts called each other
At the same time
The right time
Our conversation rhymed
I'm trying to write
This as though we ain't
Over as though you
Coming back
But you never got a map
Busy spreadin
Wings let go
My hand
And I have yet to learn how
To say goodbye
To those
I love
So I
Write these poems too late
And everyone leaves all over
Again
This is for you
Angel
iii
And me angel
I'm trying to write this
In honor of your divinity
But I keep thinking
About how lonely
It is to write about
Someone instead of
Being with someone
And I miss your holiness
And all that
But I miss the man
You are and the
Man I love
If my love were
Enough it would
Mend your flight
Lighten your load
And remind you
God
Seven times I've run
Between you and my heart
Trying to help navigate you
Love you
Enough
Alone I write this
For you
And fold my wings
Over my heart
Fear from hurt
My belly brunin desert
Hoping our destiny
Is eternity
Is shared
Is yet
To come
