If you ever forget how much I love you

There’s this place I know, far from here. We could go? I can take you there, just you and me. Only we can go.

It’s green, it’s violet, it’s yellow, it’s vermilion, it’s colours I cannot name. I’ve dreamt these colours. Haven’t you? Somehow I’ve always known them.

There’s so much light here, but it’s not too bright. Hold my hand, it feels better that way. This way, I want to show you something. I think you’ve seen it before.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful? Do you recognise it now? I knew you would. Whenever you are you feeling lost I’ll take you here. A place only we can go.

How one got so lucky: a poem for you

Our paths crossed seamlessly

And we strolled into each other lives

Effortlessly.

We have grown in affections

And everyday since

I wonder,

How did one get so lucky?

What unknown power

Struck me?

How did the stars know to aline?

When did the earth, sun and moon know

When to pull each tide,

That washed me upon your shore.

Were we ever strangers?

Have I met you before?

What did our mouths do,

Before we spoke to one another?

Did our hearts lay dormant,

Just waiting for the other?

I am not sure which divine creature

I am to address my thanks to.

So I yell beyond the sea,

To the horizon

Because I know nothing of it.

Just as i know nothing of, how one got so lucky.
