Poem: finally – 26/11/21

bounce baby
let me rise with thee
there was only one path for us
and that’s true destiny

we are anything but circumstance
we are everything wild and planned
we are perfection hand in hand
and scan my heart
to find the true lands

we will walk side by side
you smilingly and I glory-feels
your company is what I’ve always needed
it only took years to succeed

tell me now did you miss me
did your first breath you gasped
you realise
there was a piece missing
and now i’m here by your side

be careful, bay-leaf, for your heart
I will never flee
understand
need
see
that I’ll always be there for thee
and thee for me —

lifetimes apart, together
finally.
