” We are so far away
From the way
In which I find
A perfect path
To travel by.
Greenery be
Thy lovely scene
To decorate my memory shy.
Shy from worlds
Run wrought with Linguist’s dye.
Yes, shy from space
Filled with weathered atoms.
My dear friend,
I have found, too,
That a painting previously painted
Is one not meant for you.
A canvas clear and tangible
Is all around.
Take up your lungs and
Exhale colours
Vividly breathing anew.
For you
And I
We’re two
Of a kind.
Unyielding,
As you wish.
Distrusting,
Already done.
This one time is a place all our own.
It’s a place bred and alone.
Matchmaking the creations
Kept secret between hearts.
‘Tis a shame
That which hides such a fame
Be an elation
Such as art.”
