Nestling the god of new beginnings in my palm
I unravel gossamer threads of destiny
where it first tangled with yours

Was it the moment when I grew giddy
at the sound of your voice whispering my name
that I wanted to hear again and again
or it started much earlier, with imagining of true love
where we poured our blazing selves
on delicious cool of giving in to unknown
and stumble upon pieces of ourselves
we could never imagine finding in another

From pathways carved by longing of lifetimes
our hearts flow into one another
create a vortex that grows deeper,
from which there is no escape; nor desire to
we meet at the confluence of seas
transcend shores to come full circle

Culmination is but embracing genesis
