WE OPENED THE GATE

 

We opened the gate

Entered together, hand in hand

There would be no more delay

No interminable discussion

A life committed

Mutual effort right to the end

Fending off all disputes

None could enter the tent

No one could interfere

            It was pure fantasy

            No ordinary touches

            Every kiss a mystic trip

            From first to last to memory bank

            Wherein every moment is stored

            Bringing back summer on a January day

            Quelling shivers in a most pleasant way

            All owing for love to remain

            Though the body fades

Then the rumbling of a great quake

Every brick crumbles

When it falls from great height

And the wind rises to a torrent

With all the crumbled dust blown to the sea

Leaving no trace of the lovely form

That once walked beside me.

            Sunset orange, purple and wild

            Blazes in the western sky

            Illuminating damp sand

            Smooth and free

            Inviting a full man

            To run as fast as a dream                                                       200711.2
