Longing
As time turns the page, my soul longs for an ancient place deep within your bones,
I crave a home that I do not remember, yet my soul screams for it.
You’re the echo of a million moments, a symphony in my heart that serenades my soul throughout the day.
I am but a wanderer, eternally yearning for the unwritten chapters of you and I.
something else
You feel like my twin flame and a soulmate.
Or maybe you’re just something else,
a cosmic soul connected to me and the Universe.
The profound bond between us has left me
comatose under the dead lights that once touched the
hearts of ancient kings and queens.
You have shifted my world on its axis
and tilted my heart so my love spills into your hands only.
You move me.
just a moment
you took my hand and showed me how the sun’s light can warm instead of burn,
and just for a while, i felt what it is like to be sheltered unconditionally.
i looked at you in awe, with all these untamed feelings coming over me like a rush of the ocean’s waves sweeping me under for just a moment.
just a moment.
for once, being under the current of someone’s love didn’t feel suffocating and heavy. as I came up not for air but to see your eyes gazing back at me, i knew it would be foolish of me to turn and walk away from this cosmic dance between us.
so, I continued to dance with you on the rings of Saturn, allowing my heart to be set free.
Tender
What I do know is my soul has lost the will to resist you.
Your tenderness covers my invisible wounds.
Your hand holds my disfigured heart ever so gently.
Now I understand what it means to surrender all that I am
for precious moments with you.
I was lost in the dark on this path until your tender flame broke up the darkness surrounding me.
the last exit...
When your dreams are just a few exits away…
You've been driving on this grueling road for a long time, and with each exit you pass, you are conflicted. Either you want to give up believing your time will not come, or you hold on to the course because you HAVE to be almost there.
But almost doesn't count …
Or maybe it really does count for something…It counts for trying, for even attempting to follow those uninhabited dreams. Trust me, it counts for something. So what happens when you are on your road, it could be a form of recovery, finding oneself, a better quality of life, or just your dreams and desires land you so close to the last exit?
Do you speed up? Do you slow down? Or will you keep the pace you are at and follow through? I mean, hell, you've come this far, and two choices are lingering in your mind.
Choice one; I can make it. I got this. I am literally there. Do. Not. Give. Up. Follow. Through.
Choice two; It still feels like it's too far away. I don't think I can endure anymore. I just…cant.
The last exit could be your escape to whatever better future you have planned for yourself. The previous exit can lead to another road, but each road becomes more manageable, less grueling, more rewarding. Remember, the last exit doesn't mean it is the end of your journey; it can mean many things for YOU. So just follow through, friend. Follow through.
