Palanquin

Send me a letter

telling me all the sins you have committed

with the most irresistible scent of a lotus flower

send me a white palanquin

with a red ribbon around its bearers

with its majestic wings

floating to the rhythm of my heart

send me a thousand letters

each with a memory of our time together

never holding back with each stroke

pouring your all in each word

send me a white dove

an olive tree branch in its beak

bringing me hope of better days

with you in every frame of my life

Palanquin, a white one to show the purity of our love

while others none the wiser

we will lead our lives through these pages

i will hide all our secrets in a box

Send me a letter

telling me all the sins you have committed

with the most irresistible scent of a lotus flower

I won't open them

that way your secrets are safe
