Chapter Text
As tears fell, the ballad on paper, I soaked
Your gift to me, barefooted on grass, you kneeled
Dry were those blades, and beautiful, on your eyes
A brown, as rich as that I am enveloped, sealed
The brown of dirt, an embrace, akin a mother’s
Soothing one’s lack of flesh
Still, I lingered, my soul long to heal
Missing you already, the man I love
Remember? We held one another as dreary dusk slept
Together, with nothing to lose
Joining our four hands, tighter than prayer
When so much was to be feared
Tuck away your bangs, my love
Such that you give me your ear
The day I leave, mention not the red, hear?
Scattering like gems, embellishing the blankets beneath me
Engrave in your memory, the children waves one river had rocked and birthed
We travelled on along, wed were lips and song
A bright tune, merrily and clear
And the brilliant blue above, where under, we collided,
My dear.
