Three Lives of a Love seed
Three Lives of a Love seed
Life 1: A lost tale of drift seeds
You are a sea coconut rigid and rugged outside
I am a sea heart, who knows your softy heart inside
Settled and fettled, the air in us is our love
which kept us afloat and alive
We travelled shore to shore
hand in hand and made zillions of memories
until a ghostly ocean current drifted us apart
Life 2: Sour Beacon of Tall tree
I am a shy naked Red Wood seed on the scales of its cone
As only an atom of my species sprout,
used every ounce of willpower to sprout
and grew into the world’s tallest tree
to find your whereabouts
I whispered to
every bird that rests
every dandelion that surpasses stalks
every cloud that touches the apex
Stood tall with a gleaming hope of seeing you, my beloved
Until a storm pushed me to ground
Life 3: Palm Love
A year or a decade or a century or thousand years
Time doesn't bother me as long as I find and hold your palm
so I chose to be a Date Palm
laid dormant and calm
Till I find you,
I am a sleepy seed,
you are my seed coat
who keeps me warm!!
