Poem: Now It Makes Sense

Then I did not plan for it. Now, it all makes sense. Don’t you think?

Poem: NOW IT MAKES SENSE

I did not even plan for this.
I did not know this even existed.
that inside me — a young chap then
another person could grow
Inside my body ( You may wonder)
Ah, I wasn’t pregnant …
It was a matter of the heart
Just after I saw you… that day
In white and black wavy hair

How you grew on me
Like a climber on a tree
Entwined in my heart and
entrenched in my soul
A breath or a beat
found their raisond’etre.

Till the bridge met the river
A lot of water has flown
Today, you have grown so full
My heart is taken again
But… now it all makes sense
It was never meant to be …
ORDINARY.
