destiny...

It is destiny
One says
To be able to savor the way
She sways
Like so
Dancing arms and toes
Ringing your mental alarm and so
In that motion
exists future devotion noted in a moment’s flicker
Lingers like the scent off a scratch-n-sniff sticker
Strong cherry, lemon line, or deep chocolate
Very tempting signs which you can not block
For it is destiny
One says
To be able to love her even before
She swam into you and across your shores
Carrying on
That song
Keeping you alive and breathing
Seeking out and not hiding
You take that leap
Forsake those who weep
In their own ignorance
Shown as righteousness
For it is destiny
One says
To be able to sacrifice for each other
Without even thinking
As much
At one point drinking in the sinking fear
Of loss and such
Tearing at the memory of her touch
But you then remember the power
Greater than any other
It will crumble your lack of faith
And build for you a path to stumble back onto for destiny’s sake…
