Perhaps I go back to the beginning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and rename the road<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
erase the memory of destination altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps I sit at the edge of the river<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where water gushes from the unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and wash your face<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and your gaze<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the thunder of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps I write your name<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on a green leaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and give it to the white pigeon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to take it further where<\/p>\n\n\n\n
memory cannot reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps your name is carved <\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the green meadows <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and can be seen from faraway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps you knock at my door one day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the scent of the waiting words<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought were erased through time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
find their way into the rose garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps I fall in love one summer night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on your rooftop as the breeze is dancing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the stars are flickering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but alas!
I know <\/p>\n\n\n\n
the story which was once in the making <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is burnt in the chaos of the hot southern winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
