Fate... or Destiny?


Who ever knew That fate would ever meet destiny? That their two worlds would ever collide, When they themselves are worlds apart? I'm flirting with destiny, What harm can that be? The threat that fate may cave, And destiny may win. One heart, Two hearts, One beat. It's the pulsing you feel free-flowing Through your veins and your mind Fate, who hates so much of what destiny is Finds it to be an attractive object Destiny has hands, but fate has the imagination Of where destiny could end up Placing its hands Destiny doesn't understand How fate moves, feels, sees the world The little tick infecting your mind Distracting you from what you do best Fate – the cause, feeding that same tick The essence it needs to survive In both minds To touch, to feel, to taste destiny Could it ever feel so right? Fate's touch, its feel, its taste Venom from a poisonous flower But no one knows, it's a sweet feeling on your tongue Destiny – The tongue that tastes. Fate – The taste in your mouth. A silent toxin for destiny. It is the apocalypse When fate and destiny meet When their worlds intertwine so that No one knows they are two, But believes they are one Silent, passionate lovers Fate and destiny are. I'm dancing with destiny Not caring about harm to come Because the passion destiny gives Is the passion fate longs to feel Can you feel it, too? The passion has saturated the air, Infected the lungs of those Who dare watch Fate flirts with destiny Until destiny takes hold of fate And possesses it Fate gives in, struggling to breathe Destiny, keeper of all fate knows Their paths have crossed Do you choose fate, or destiny?

<p>@Becca,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for your feedback! I had someone specific in mind when I wrote this, and ended up marrying the guy! He was a real good friend for a long time, and then it just kinda of happened. Like Fate meeting Destiny!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>My favorite lines are &quot;I&#39;m flirting with destiney,&quot; which to me was kind of funny since I&#39;ve met at least three girls with the name Destiney. So it was kind of funny. (heehee) Another would have to be &quot;Silent and passionate lovers, Fate and Destiney, the two are.&quot; It&#39;s a very romanticized vision and I just simply love it. Thank youso much for this poem and for saring it with not only me but everyone else.</p><p>I&#39;m curious, were thinking of soemthing specific when you were writing this piece?</p><p>Becca.</p>
