only
in that sacred space
between
your perky pink-tipped globes
will my breath be tranquil,
free from the turbulent windmills of the mind.
let anyone come or go
let wild elephants rain,
but promise, to never abandon me.
as i shoulder heavy karmic burdens from this time at bat,
you’ve been my partner in crime.
lock me in a tight embrace,
cos when the waves retreat
and my treatise on love is complete,
there will be no page in which you’re not.
