the last few steps

For many many decades
basking in my den,
sleeping with arrogance
stoning my heart to death.

A new dawn arrived in the lull,
it had it’s own colour and hue,
vibrant laughter linger in the wall,
delicate like a drop of morning dew.

I saw the night and the stars,
through those pair of eyes,
the kindness beneath hers,
strong but resilient like skies.

I have crossed the last few steps,
we could not walk together,
keeping deep in my heart,
promise to remember you forever.
