Mango Tree

Are you surprised of the direction
You have taken your life in?
Is it not just how you imagined it
Exactly how you dreamed of it
And longed for it?

Well, I have known for long
That kindred spirits, we have grown
Into our own
And into one another’s roots;
We’ve become each other’s irrevocable
And everlasting truths

Just like the ocean, you have
Sprayed my thirsty heart
And like the mango tree, you’ll never
Let me go hungry

It wasn’t by mistake that
Intertwined were our fates
Our roads now destined to become
Embroidered like a chain mail
That will never fail
To shield our hearts that weigh
So, so many tons

And many suns will have to be
Ignited and extinguished
Way before the flames between us
Finish flickering in the wind
Even in the winter I am warm
When I am lying in your arms

And you may go away
As far as Spain, but
No extended interval of time
Or distance visible
Will ever me far for long
Honey, you’re my paragon
