Paper Boats

Your name was all, once,
it would take me to the ends
of the universe,
anytime and in my dreams.
Once, our minds were broad
like the petals of hibiscus
clearly bright and colourful
every word you spoke
would fall like feathers
gently upon my soul.
We were like paper boats,
vulnerable,
who could understand each other
both, sailing in troubled water.

It’s good you found your way
out of this shallow brook into the river,
while I got caught by the rocks
and twigs fallen across.

But that’s not the point,
for, as the water flows,
it will shift me, free me
and flow me out into the river…

But your words will be all
that will fill my heart
your words that make me feel
that the wind shouldn't blow
and sail me into the river,
words that make me feel
this water stagnated
and I soaked and drowned.
