Exams near - protests we hear,
Lotus beneath lotus,
A conversation dear.
Of pain the universe lent us.
“I beg to differ?”
You begged in words,
Even before you knelt in shiver,
Souls dance in the dark, no swords.
“What’re the chances?”
That gecko visited manor,
To witness universal embraces,
Soulmates in naked glamour.
In the chaos of war and revolution,
We found peace and consolation,
Doubts turned to beautiful revelations
We didn’t consume each other in moderation
A walk in the mall, kiss at the pier
Walking you home without fear
Afraid to fall in love is why I never came near
Your notes from back then like our future - crystal clear.
In a time of going away from home,
Asking others to go home,
I found my ever-loving home,
And a forever dome.
