Worth a Lifetime

 

I would rather drown, remembering

The beauty of your voice 

the chorus of our short gatherings

than miss the opportunity.

Of optimal surrender,

burning with light over all thresholds

whispering the melodies of life

But to push me then 

Cut me with the knife,rather

not with your words,

failure does not intimidate me

Only separation haunts my particularity.

As the natural force of love

I would pull you down to sky

to remind what you have forgotten

You enchant me foolishly, 

while I leap over time

To catch up to your running feet

But you leave me sharpened with 

your harsh words

I run through clouds for you, 

with a certain bliss

Elated, I hold primed concepts

Because I know what you are

the sky which I fell through

the light that glows my eyes

You are in the water that keeps me alive

and the air that thrills me to life

In the rubble of our childhood

I find the desire to hold this exultation

for a reunion worth a lifetime
