an empty space
in my heart could have been filled
by another empty space
in your heart
somewhere in that pool surrounded by ferns
some fish live
isolated by mounds and mounds of earth
we felt them
i could have touched you and make you live
you could have grown into a tree
where i could have taken shade by now
by my hands had always been cowards
in love's sweet battles
unable to defend
what could have been true and
necessary
my mouth not speaking
my feet had taken that walk away from you
and since then
nothing has been heard, not even any hint
that you had died in that war that we once fought
our misunderstood restraints
where are you now? i have already convinced myself
death is a wall and we are runners jumping beyond it
wait for me as i wait for you
let us connect those broken chains of our unfulfilled dreams
of loves unrequited
and perhaps when we find ourselves again
back to our arms
who knows? we can live again
two creatures
under a tree
with happy eyes
gazing
to eternity
