You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go
– The Beatles
For her, as usual
One
We say good-bye,
each one walks on,
to meet again
and again
to let destiny
take its course
Two
you will not turn around,
I know,
tomorrow
and again,
becoming love
full circle
Three
We say good-bye, you will not turn around,
each one walks on, I know,
to meet again tomorrow
and again and again,
to let destiny becoming love
take its course full circle

Three poems – two separate ones, which are then horizontally combined to form a third. This is called a cleave.
This cleave was written for napowrimo #14.

ReplyDeleteI like yours better than mine, and I like how you set yours up too. It took me forever to get mine to look right. Good job on the prompt.
