Desire To Restrain
Two souls bound together,
Withheld a world apart,
No leather strap or tether,
Yet, a single tear from the smart.
Two streams flowing to a river,
Gently trickling away,
Eroding with tantric shiver,
Silently cutting the glacier away.
Two clocks quietly ticking past,
Arms never in the same place,
Souls that bond, strengthening fast,
Fused closer still upon meeting face.
Two birds. One needs to take flight,
Rare songbird edges from stale nest,
Flightless avian forages at ground height,
Quietly chirping. Shall do my very best.
Two eyes gazing through the damp fog,
Endless smile that catches the sun,
Fearless avian emerges from log,
Curiosity. Need an assist Hun?
Two distant views of desired life,
Separate, yet each is the same,
Emptiness, torture, sorrow & strife,
Fates destiny on either plane.
Two voices echo through thick forest,
So many prints with curious clicks,
Drifting between, amour’s mist,
Restrained flight, wings clipped.
Two era-torn lovers cast into a spell,
Absence in time bonding stronger still,
Each plans to escape their own private hell,
Desire to restrain, at sublime free will.
