Create

I seek to create

A new world
In the recombination
Of two souls
Shattered innocence
And hope -

A romance
Like a tapestry
That weaves
Every colored thread of life
Into its pattern -

A whole life
Whose bitterness is sweetened
By the passion we have
For sunsets
Moon breezes
And each other -

I seek to create

For true love and adventure
Are not happenstances
But dances
Sculpted every moment
By the hands
Of our imaginings.
