My beloveds say
in a past life
in a past life
we were
sweet nothings.
In my
utopian dreams
fallen angels tint
rose hallucinated
maladaptive whispers.
A voice withers
in my ears saying –
We were soulmates.
Who is holding
the illicit truth?
Living souls?
or the lost cherubs?
My inner temple
tells me,
in every life
we plant tulips
for one another.
