Poem | We, Us, Ours

Singing hummingbirds on the chrysanthemum garden 

Running dogs by the nearby Central Park

Scattered sunlight during twilight
And cozy homes smelling like hot pot dish

Twinkling star lights put freckles on the clear, night sky 

Shining full moon is our solo spotlight

Belting soprano with pastel notes so high
Inside a vibrant, colorful tavern

I’ll grin at you across the room and offer you my ‘bravo’ 

We’ll chant lyrics of untold love songs on the way home

It might be harder to get through a wild tornado

The pouring rain might kiss the earth’s surface for days 

If I have your hand to hold and your lips to kiss

We’ll see rainbow and sunshine in the morning

For there is no me and you or you and me 

In our never-ending chaptered book

To define it in three little words
Everything is we and us and ours

Blossoming pink roses along the white picket fence 

Tweeting sparrows by the tall avocado tree

Broken pieces of shattered china plate
Made whole again with golden lacquer

Crawling white clouds adorned the blue sky

Blinding rays of sunshine sprinkled the shadows 

Knowing that it will not take long until you come home 

Painting rainbows on the blank wall

We’ll kiss by the door when you return, deep and

Full of longing, for an entire day without seeing each other

It might be harder to walk on a tightrope by myself

The rope easily breaks and unwinding

When you’re at the bottom of the cliff arms open to catch me 

I know my safe haven consists of your embrace and warmth

For there is no complete laughter without you near me

And no amounts of tears will be enough to shed 

When you completely leave me,

So tonight, we’ll stay together arms around each other

Funny our love was a taboo one

When all I feel while I’m with you is as normal 

As sunrises and sunsets in an everyday setting 

Birds singing and flowers blooming
