I'm on a role...

Expectations of Reconciliation

If I re-enact our first meeting

As if it never wilted

If I can swiftly lift your lips into a smile

With memorable tongue-in-cheek

If I bear gifts and posies and

Poetry and tunes of vintage

If I give you the greatest sunset

Whilst out at sea so that you can have it twice

If I hold you tighter than skin itself

And let go only to reposition our embrace

If I kiss you a hummingbird’s kiss

Where floating for sweetness is a natural occurence

If I bring you the hope that you were missing to

Achieve your eternal ambition

If I obliterate all life’s tyranny

By carving you an uncorrupted path

If I arrive at your company with all these things

Will you still see me as you once saw me before?

Or are these mere expectations of reconciliation


No more.
