Gated Perspectives

Another collaborate effort of Cassie and myself.

-Her Perspective

Briskly,
I walk along this smooth, dry road
That seems to have no end
Not even the scorching sun
Or the waft of adjacent trees
Seems to change the bearing
Of my trail of thoughts
I hasten my steps
Half walking, half running
Determined to reach that gate
And still...
My mind, body and soul
Is on you

-His Perspective

For too long,
This road has teased my feet
And that gate, where love
Promised its return...
Mocks my efforts
My waning heart suffers every step
These foolish hopeful feet take
Will my love again ever be
But a step away
Peering from beyond the fence
Shall this road
Prove to be my dusty end
The grave of this waiting heart
My love make your promise kept
Silence that ridiculing gate
And gift me your return
