The Star Crossed Lover

 


Press play before reading. Salute.




(A lone voice whispers)

Will you defeat all I am with the divine soliloquies of your sweet tasting love magic

Shall I venture alone to my designated internal salvation


To be simply reborn and stand all above

That which is borne 


Or will I fall at the wayside and dwindle

In my faith 


As it capriciously falls

Have I met you already in person in a previous tragic lifetime


As I wandered through it all


Or have I simply passed you by before we spoke and is this

The sweet-tasting nectar of not knowing


Like a glass of strawberry wine


Already written upon the laws of synchronicity multicultural walls

We both never saw


And is that why I miss you all the time
