with our fingers knitted into one <br />like a cracked verse <br />we stood in the space <br />between elegy and romance <br />our movement, irregular <br />like a rhythm unfamiliar <br />we stepped into dark uncharted waters <br />our shadows cast behind our lingering hearts <br />and chasing furtively <br />like the wings of dark angels <br /> <br />the sun succumbed <br />to the gloom of our inner tempos <br />our only source of light <br />was the curious desire to rise <br />from our eyes and <br />setting on this unfamiliar void <br /> <br />we were like two cubs barnished <br />from their only pride <br />torn, forlorn, finding a destination <br />for our journey's formation <br />it was a voyage to unearth <br />this nascent place of rebirth <br />a place where no other mind <br />will ever tread to find <br /> <br />but we had us <br />we had us to lift <br />the weight of inertia from our feet <br />and moved with the instinct <br />of our emotions <br />our emotions, the path on <br />on which we trailed along <br />ignorant of what lay ahead <br />on that solitary road <br /> <br />suddenly, like the big bang <br />we broke free from the shackle of loves bind <br />onto that land of our emotional certainty <br />and the treasures of vanity <br /> <br />the destination of such <br />was the love and affection to clutch <br />finally finding solitary solace <br />in the warmth of our holy embrace<br /><br />chize ryan ogunkah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-elopement-2/
