    I need to find a certain poem but I don't know the title just words
    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
