Forwards and Backwards (New Poem)

Forwards and Backwards
by Tim Kavi

backwards
juxtaposition
you leaned against me
in all of time
and space

in you
your history's
dialectics
progressed with
all grace

until beholding
you
I was the strong
one then
as your destiny
blew you
in the wind

until setting
the bonds free
I was the song

after some
setting sun
today
forwards
you sung it
to me

and we
enjoyed our love
again

for across
time it is here
there
and where
we have ever when

forwards
and backwards
backwards
and forwards
in singing
and laughing
and guiding
each other

it is where
our love has
always been.
