the onion bhaji girl
selects the tasty in life
shy, but none know why
the world should be her sky
expansive, shining and full -
of opportunity
kind and beautiful one
with a heart made of candy
sweet and so treasured
last piece selfishly mine
the open wrapper reveals -
glittering soul of gold
eyes closed, to better see
the heart I always share with her
will she take my hand?
like sea stones taking shape
the passage of time will mold -
a statue of our love
