One

Futile to hold on tight or cling to the light,

Nothing you do or say, can make the moment stay;

despite the intense flame, you can never lay claim,

nor merge your souls, but walk towards distinct goals

severed but one in a never-ending conundrum

where one begins when the other ends -

If, if only, 'twas the one true love you sealed with a kiss

and the gentle hand that drew knows its promise to keep

when arms that bound and lips fused as one -

No distance can keep you apart

Lucid words that connect the heart

Fear nor doubt, to cause a rift

No tsunami or cyclone will set you adrift...

But anything else is just not worth it.
