fading with a smile - for sammi

thank you samina shah for your words
alacri(t)ous, resonating, quivering
will overlook the hint
(mistaking the message for the messenger)
do i wonder, do i dare
is there a recourse
is my head or heart on the block
no, no, can't be me
we are ( M and I) well on the way
to merge into one-ness
of mores, manners, bent,
of all consuming intensity
of hurts, scars and moments
with the longing of tides for the shores
birds for spring branches
of lovers entwined by masters
.......................in marble
before fading with a smile
into today's morrow
or tomorrow's past
