Destiny Defied

 

 She said she didn’t know what to say

Not that I held the apology back

Of course I’d said sorry – for loving her

Her very being to me was glorious

A million sunsets bedazzled

Even her callousness was poetic

An ocean I know had come between us

Overflowing with saline tears

A bridge which this life was a-begging

So now we stand on separate shores

Marooned by destiny

Pulled back by society

Yet sunsets live and die and live

The tide comes in and goes out

Nothing really changes

Not even love

Of course when I asked her

To share my afterlife

She said sure

Funny thing love this

It doesn’t let you live together

Yet you yearn to die

Only to be born again

If life cannot bring us together

I defy death to tear us apart.
