If I even contemplate walking away, every pore seems to hurt
So I do not even ponder thus
I know you shall never be mine,
isn't that too selfish of me to even consider such
I know it not because I am sure of my affections
I know it 'coz society has inhibitions that it is not ready to shed
It is never for me to defy nothing
I have always walked away when the sun shone a lighter shade
Even an ounce of disdain or dourness would set me up
to another world, to another domain, to another desert
I know of all deserts to be the same but I know not until I have touched
hence I walk and I walk and am still walking
My delight in knowing you knows no bounds
I'm perplexed at the tremendous waves within my heart
The skip of glee bewilders me but I name it my adornment
I shall carry you along with me to newer pastures, the hills and the valleys
I may never see you again, that has been my story's effervescence
but I shall not shed a tear, gasp a breath nor scream a sigh
for you are the one I love, for you shall be always the one I love
and that you or the greater divine force cannot withdraw from me
That is for me to keep, that is for me to take
Nonetheless I shall never forget the grateful depth of my heart
for you,
in wisdom, I bow, my lady, for your gift is so that even life has not been so endearing...
