gambit: first days

~
I do not know when it all started
It must have been the time you caught my eye
I found you looking as if in a mirror
I knew I held your soul deep in mine.

The days went by like lightning in a whirlpool
The nights went faster even then
I couldn’t wait for the time when we would cross
The limit into lover’s land.

I listened to the howling of the wind in the canyons;
I lashed out like a gale into the freedom of the light;
I broke the bonds of silk diplomacy;
I made the rules to rule my kingdom of the night.

So now, where leads this insurrection?
Our hearts cry out for freedom unsurpassed;
Reach for my hand, together we’ll not falter,
Our souls are one: The die is cast.
