MY LOVE NOT MY VAL.

My love

Not my Val

Because you

Don’t come knocking once a year

You’re the reason I exist

The reason I can go on

The one I give my heart to

Again

And again

And more than once again

                                                                

It’s the highs and lows

The ups and downs

The hurts and forgiveness

That hopes and disappointment

The joy and pain

The honey and myrrh

That’s made us

Have what we have

And this has become

Who we are

The arrows have been shot at us

The wounds are healing

The sinews are growing on the bones

The sun is shinning

The harmattan is fading

It’s all dry and hot

Read: We have us

Oh!

But I can see

I can see the clouds

It’s smaller than a fist of cloud

It will blanket us

And pour down

Refreshing us

And bringing a spine with it

As we bask as one

You and I

I and you

Then we will have

The vine and its fruits

The wine will come from it

We will drink

Drink and be merry

And share to all who care for more wine

For it is who we are

It is who we are meant to be
