You Validated Destiny through Happenstance
By Bertram Allan Mullin
A car crash in Houston
A violin song . . . dream:
Beelzebub stealin’ my soul
Bubble cage
Glorious shadow girl,
Glorious rock ‘n’ roll background
Awesome spin kick
Abbadon scared away
by her might
Blast of sakura leaves
Escape from a dungeon,
embrace we did
Awake, I wrote you
actually, in my novels, a character:
became
Basically you:
Classic rock lovin’
Cool martial artist
Named for
none other than
a violin player
and I moved to Japan
You walked out from
yonder shadows post our embrace
Same name
Same loves
I became a first time believer in . . . that is
I saw validated destiny through happenstance
Overreacted, slightly: a letter a song
Obsession made you not crazy for me
Unbroken by choices I didn’t like
Up to God, my hands in the air
Three more times, you and I by chance
Then I saw . . . undreamed youthful reality
free will
free eyes
Request
reiterated here
Get to know me
Go beyond the norm
It’ll be fun — otherwise,
I’ll move on and forever wonder: why
