Half of Forever
I doubt that the mustangs
Stay within the confines of a farm
In the middle of the night,
They must be curious to find
The unicorn with an angelic light.
The pitcher plant might at times
Be tired of putting on a fight,
It must be laying off the sight
And resting it's head on the low grass.
The water looks still and bugged
And contempt in the coloured glass,
Maybe it wants to feel the nature's colour,
Maybe it wants to taste the roots' flavour;
I set it free and watch it closely
Being sucked into the earth
As a seedling gives a subtle shake
Of love and gratitude.
The woman with light brown eyes
Enjoys the sun's mild kiss
And waits to reach home
To be in her lover's arms,
She looks me in the eyes
And concernedly smiles,
Her wordless absurd reaction
Speaks to me clear and aloud
As she nervously presses her palms,
'Your half of forever
Is going into whose arms?'
