Fate took control
A force to be noted
Unfolded from the start
Of an unknown tune-
A pick against taut strings
Rock the house of our future
Transforming into a dance floor,
Den of movement,
For which we travel through
Until the court rules
Whether our lives
Will be forever intertwined.
Walking miles in their shoes-
No shoes…
Soleless Souls
Traversing treacherous terrains.
No haven in view,
But we keep walking-
I keep walking
Despite blisters brimming with blood.
Regardless of where you’re heading
I shall follow.
I wished upon a star
For a dream that felt so far
It could never be in reach
Until the atmosphere was breached.
That shooting star, it fell
My anxiety was quelled
As the stars revealed destiny
And showed that we were meant to be.
In front of me
You stand
In black and white
A 50’s dream
With suit-clad arms by your side
Raising up
As if lifted by clouds
To rest on my generous hip
And outstretched hand
As the music begins.
Behind me
Stands my past
With magnified eyes
Waiting for me to get lost
In the distraction of music
And misstep
Landing a sharp-as-a-knife-heel
In the heart of your foot
So they can shout
I KNEW SHE WOULD HURT YOU!
But what’s behind you?
I can’t see
For the room is too dark
From the extinguishing sneers of my past
Reducing the fiery passion
Creating tension between your body
And my own.
But I want to know so badly
Regardless of how hard you try
To stand in my way
I’ll step to the right
And see your face
I’ll step to the left
And you’re there with me.
Hold me close until the song ends
Until then,
We’ll keep dancing
In time and rhythm
Side to side.
Love notes? I’ll call it a passion
For a man that is just so dashing
That he makes my heart sing lullabies
And from a thought, heavy sighs
That linger in the air and follow me
Home until I’m with you and I can see
The way your eyes reflect my thoughts
And deepest memories hidden in a box
That you drag out so we can play
With memories of the days that we would say
“Forever yours I’ll be, my dear.
And wherever you go, I promise to be there
For you. I know that alone you are strong,
But with two of us, you can’t go wrong.
I love you in the best of ways
And I’ll love you ’til the last of my days.”
We’ll cover the box and put it back in it’s place
And jump back on our feet to brace
Ourselves for the new memories we will create.
You can call it love at first sight, but I’ll call it fate.
