Together we stroll
Along white plains daily
With my fingers
Gripping, firmly, her tiny waist
My feelings
She put in black and white
Combining lineation
For generations to stare in awe
On my palm she lay
At night time
Never sleeping
Ever ready
To trap
Overflowing thoughts.
Preventing them
From fleeing
Indispensable She has become
So, we live on each other’s pockets
For Her presence
Is just so irresistible
An oath have we taken
My blood
And Her ink
Forever to be one
