LIFE'S TWINE
LIFE'S TWINE
Years rolled off the miles; off the chosen track,
Hither I wait! Still thy touch: oblivious to thy smack.
Prudent! Discreet to all deals, twas how thou named thyself,
Hating love to falling too deep: thou strangled in my delf.
Thread by thread! Closer yet close and our skins were one,
All breaths shared warm; all blood shared red: vanity was now gone.
Reminiscing bygone tormented days; thou blushed ashamed too red,
Gummed to my life's lengthy twine; thou kept adorning my bed.
Nonchalant to thy irate eyes; I made thou perch in my soul,
I made thou hold me firm and strong: hold me a closer whole.
I sought no love but thy grinning lips; pink and drenched in lust,
A happy gust to blow thy sweat; if my words thou trust.
Thou may jump off tallest peaks; drown thyself in seas,
Or may fly off! Off the blue; beyond the hills and leas.
In a timid smile I shall pull my twine that hath held us one,
Closer yet closer and yet some more: we must kiss beneath the sun.
This string indeed; as arduous roots shall always keep us strong,
And beneath the gloomy skies of fate; we shall walk along.
There's a shore for destiny; time shall call us alone,
Yet the twine of our mortal life shall aid us face the unknown.
