‘Tasha’ (Poem)

Summary

Like a hurricane,

Your presence swept over me

Dotting and possessing

Without caution but zeal

Defiling all warnings

Scaling all heights

Over-stepping all boundaries

My presence made you tremble

And I crumbled before yours

Worries of uncertainty

But what we share, spanned us dry

And voila!

Our beings spoke the silent language

Our eyes bore the joy of discovery

And the evidence of yester yearnings

Confused everyone else is

They all are concerned

They surely are

For a future heavy with uncertain birth

Afraid of being a catalyst to err

You have come a long way

Crossing many dry rivers

I have not travelled less

Cascading slippery mountains and narrow bridges

Broken at times we both felt, wishing to end it all

But the unknown knowledge we felt

Of what is yet to be

Powered our will

Quietly illuminates us

In the serenity of a world we both share

With no neighbours, nor folks
