The Duet of Us

Our Love Story

We are the duet Created in the expanse of the elusive horizon where our love songs come riding on the clouds to greet the layered meanings of the earth.

We are a duad Invented from the mess of chaos turning towards the glow of devastation in a rhythmic tempo concerting through the breaths joined in credence.

We are a pair rhythmic in the footsteps of our tango entwined from the fingertips till the drumbeat of the heart loosing the self in the chords of eternity.

We are a dyad Waltzing over the dried leaves nourishing the soul in the eruptions of desire yet silent in our thirst of the burgeoning love.

We are a couplet unfinished in our quaint lyrics swaying in the harmony of unstrung melodies imbued with the recital of our soulful serenade.

We are two of a kind one a faint breath of scarlet dreams the other a turquoise cadence of rain together in a Capella of stars shining our silver and gold.

We are dualities singing over the rainbow of storms blooming fragrant in the murmurs of the summer grass rising in the notes of aloneness to fall in the depths of an embrace.

We are a match painting with the brush of your soul adding the colours of my being sculpting ourselves with the chisel of your thoughts through the enigma of my patterns awakened in the prayers of the sunrise of hope in you and the mysterious twilight of my eyes.

We are a love story this I, danced as the poetry in our duet this you, the essence making us come alive sharing, the bliss of a surrendered selfless belonging.
