Phoenix in Bloom
I rise up from the ashes
Of my former shadow,
& I rush to share with you:
My friend, my love, my future.
I have something to show you, I say..
Record this, in case this is a dream, I say..
I cross the room to approach you,
Tears streaming down my face.
Is this real? Are you here?
Am I dreaming this tonight?
Ask me again and I’ll share my true desire.
There’s only ever been one place,
That draws me steadily like a magnet.
My love of history, culture and beauty,
Cannot compare with the place,
Where elephants and tigers roam,
& The most precious of them all.
Looking deep into my eyes, are you ready?
My heart, mind & soul remain undamaged,
Be gentle with me love, we have a lifetime.
This body may be as good as new,
Still I have much work to do: Nourish it,
Strengthen it & Most importantly,
Love it unconditionally.
You chose me and I chose you,
Before we reached this conclusion,
An ocean apart, now east meets west
& We begin anew.
