Fate
Updated: Mar 17, 2022
I want t’chop off the dreadlocks of Fate
& use ‘em t’maybe try ‘n’ lasso me an angel,
a soulmate
T’nuzzle & snuggle, jugglin’ any struggle,
& muzzling all the hate and pessimism
Of a muggle world in which our romance’s
The rainbow throughout its eldritch prism.
We’d dance in the rain and laugh ‘n’ shout
In the snow. Always together no matter the weather,
W/ tender rays we’d grow
Cytherean chrysanthemums, lavender and rose,
Lolly-gaggin’ along growling shadows,
Strummin’ on our mandolins
Indian myths and ramblings of our cosmic origin.
& every Valentine’s we’ll swoon
And we’ll dine
w/ peppermints and wine,
Reminiscing the moments since my sun
& her moon
Eclipsed, lips embraced in an electric,
Ying-yang syzygy;
Our feng shui the dragonfly sharp-eyed
And still atop the lotus.
