THE SLING THAT CLINGS

Poem composed on April 12, 2009

Time will eventually tell
And fate shall then spell
The magic word of love
As delivered by doves

In Singapore’s Clark Quay
He finally found the key
To her long sealed heart
Breaking the lock apart

Patience is a virtue
With that love so true
He overcame barriers
And became her warrior

In that scary sling on sight
She found herself in fear
In that wild ride of the night
Her feelings became clear

It was him all the way
By her side always
It was him all along
In whom she truly belongs

“No I won’t do it”
She retreated coyly
“It’s not worth it”
She said shyly

“I’m here by your side”
He replied her
“You’ll enjoy the ride”
He convinced her

Two people inside a sling
Two hearts beat in a swing
As the two were elevating
They found themselves embracing

In the sling that clings to the heart…
