EACH OTHERS’ VALENTINE

Like two arcs funding an unfinished bridge running over oceans and rivers,

We knead our words as roads, we need them as knights need swords,

They are our steps in the dance on a torn fence and hence the gap,

the opening in a wall, the unexpected hole we filled with streams of chats.

 

We are novices, explorers, sailors and commanders of a ship that sails

With uncertain directions and unknown destination, we bet we could get

Some sense from a tense time on the waves, from a growing flower that shows

Colours that may change when it blossoms, who knows?

 

We are trees singing our songs when a warm wind blows,

We are golden sand in the sun, spectators of the circling dove,

Dreamers we are, or foolish – who knows – dissolving like pearls of tears in the light of love.
