I thought I was a whisper in the night
I thought I could float away and dissipate
But I stayed; my patience being golden, like solar rain
I thought you came too late, but you came anyway!
There was so much laughter between us,
Though there was nothing voluminous to say!
Yet, there were so many secrets, from every beginning, like we were blown away!
And I could hold a child as she were a lover
Her curls just like mine were
to be straightened out some day
Did you know the breeze that wafted between us?
Even I did not know how much it slowed me down with restraint
I felt like a convalescent, though never tiring; Alas! so much in vain
And then, there was a season where I wasn’t conscious of,
that took you away. But I strove everyday
to be as near to you as possible, even changing my geography!
The love, though, remained as distant as a diamond-star that couldn’t shine
but was as tender as an inevanescent dew drop on a freshly bloomed petal
Your beautiful pet was mine as well, my darling pet!
It was a growing up on a refreshment of love that lasted for eternity
I don’t know if my mighty friend, acquired so late in my life, is yours as well
He knows my Godhood, and I know his Kingship
And he knows that I have taken great pains to anoint him; and greater pains to keep his reign!
This love is like a beautiful collage with a Damocles sword hanging over it
I just know that I have profound strength, so do you, and so, my mighty friend!
We just need to find ways to defy and defuse the treachery!
There is no blood so singularly divine and regal as the blood of bravery!
And in this co-existence, albeit distant, we are just proud of our pedigree as much as of our pedagogue
The world has so much to learn from us, but will it ever take note?
