AUTHOR POV

Entwined by Jason Reeves

Entwined

All that we are is defined

By each other’s shipwrecked hearts

And I shiver to think

What would have been

If I wouldn’t have seen you in time

Would we pass by

A boy and a girl were swaying softly to the music and to the rhythm of their hearts only they could hear.

Like parachutes and air balloons

Or satellites and lonely moons

We’d still be drifting far apart

But thank the stars

We are entwined

Lost in each other’s gaze, their eyes reflecting what is in their hearts: each other.

All that you are is mine

Your divine imperfections color the dark

And I shiver to see

How fragile you are

When the world’s such a crowded place to be

Then you cut me free

The boy holds the girl tighter in his arms, like she was his everything.

Like parachutes and air balloons

Or satellites and lonely moons

We’d still be drifting far apart

But thank the stars

We are entwined

The girl responds with a smile that carries her promise of forever.

Let’s walk the tight rope together without a safety net

And when we fall

And we will fall

Let’s fall

forever entwined

He smiles back and gently caresses her hair then her cheeks.

Like parachutes and air balloons

Or satellites and lonely moons

We’d still be drifting far apart

She blushes deeply and presses her face to his chest.

Like parachutes and air balloons

Or satellites and lonely moons

We’d still be drifting far apart

But thank the stars we are

We are entwined

Entwined

He pulls back cupping her chin to raise her face

and planted a kiss.

Entwined synonyms: tangled, matted, entangled, dishevelled, intertwined, knotted

I have come to love this word. It connotes nonseparation, togetherness yet it could also mean mess, disorder.

Entwined: to be one amidst chaos
