baggage

The lonely lover trudges through time
with deserts to cross, mountains to climb
Dragging behind, we look around to find
a boulder of baggage, a glaciation of expectation
We brave on bearing these burdens around
Our spirits lashed, our longings earthbound
Aggrieved and abused, with padlock fused
Finally you spy another lover nearby
Eager yet wary, concordant yet contrary
Chained to their ankle you spy a conglomeration
A boulder of baggage, a glaciation of expectation!
Now - love each other, if you dare!
But never ever say i didn't beware...
