a liaison from centuries ago...

this time a glass of something good
the anticipation would
the arrival of a dear one
the happiness in the heart begun.

for on a long trip they have been
too many days them not have seen
a dear a friend a quiet soul
me in so many ways does cajole.

soon soon they be my company
my voice does laugh in Ecstasy
never enough time with them to spend
to travels their time too much they lend.

but i have learnt to not be greedy
and definitely know to not be needy
for this friendship be a special one
rare uncomplicated now, as when it begun.

to know to cherish something different
to apply the norms of life irrelevant
for the beauty lies in it simplicity
even though the dabble be one of complicity.

oh please don't judge what u may read
many may a finger wag, i do concede
but this liaison centuries ago
on the two of us the stars did bestow.
