Knitted together

by light of the moon,

my eyes strained

to reach your soul,

two magnetized spirits

drawn together

forming one mind

in deep purple shadows.

I laid my hands

upon your heart

to grasp the light,

ignited in flames,

overcome by awareness

we had been soulmates

since beginning of time.

Steaminess was drawn

from our core as

love unfolded like

thawing ice pressed

between pages of books.

Scent of you clung

to my skin as

we pulsed in the joy

of blue sapphire night.

Hearts tied together

in cottony cloud,

stitched in sync

with euphony of love,

destined to meet.

We were destined to meet...

Or so I thought

Forgetting who I was

and got to caught up.

My body and soul

overflowing with emotions

Another one lost....

Was never mine....

Fate fell short yet another time....

drop

me

to

the

ground

It was great while it lasted....

Mind off in the clouds....

Till dark clouds were casted....

Time

to

come

back

down~

Reality Bites....

"Serendipitous," I said, "Our meeting."

Her Bulgarian eyes flashed their murky depths and replied, "What is this word?"

I repeated it. She rolled the word around with her tongue a few times before asking, "What does this word mean?"

"It means 'by chance'," was the best I could describe it.

She smiled at this and her eyes thinned and her thin lips curled and she raised a shot glass filled with golden liquid. "To serendipitous," she toasted.

I raised my own and we gazed in each others eyes as we tapped bar with glass and drank. The burn was sharp but we held our gaze an eternal tick.

The bar was closing down and the final strains of Let's Dance began again.

Her face became dreamy. "You have the saddest eyes." She indicated one with a fingertip. 

"Put on your red shoes."

And we left serendipity sleeping at the bar.

I look forward

To meeting you,

For we are indeed,

Destined to meet.

They'll dress me in my finest cloth,

Make me up from head to toe!

A face so serene,

To find behind a soul that is sleeping,

All yours for the keeping.

A life plump with pleasure I have lived,

A life so divine I ate it all up,

Lapping the juices from my chin with my tongue,Yes, I took a bite from the fruit called life.

I took delight in every triumph,

I took despair with a grain of salt,

I mixed love in as much as I could,

And I made a life that has been well lived.

Yes,

When we meet,

Oh death my sweet,

I will be ready

And waiting for you,

For we are indeed,

Destined to meet.

just learning

then

I bought a

well-thumbed guide

for a dollar

and in charcoal, began

the one with

the exaggerated jaw and

strong brow

came alive in

my hand

somehow and I

tucked it away in my

closet in that little space

my hiding place

and so you seemed

familiar when I first

saw you, shoulder pressed

against the hallway

face partway in shadow

and it wasn't until years later

cleaning out my childhood room

that I unfolded the sketch

and smudgy though it was

recognized your face

and fell in love

all over again

He was nothing at all like his dark depictions

With compassionate eyes of purple and blue

A look that promised to removed all my afflictions

He took my hand into his and my calmness grew

I should have felt scared as we entered this place

With its dazzling skies on twisted lightning seas

But I felt a stillness, as I looked upon his immortal face

Such human features, but an inhuman ability to create ease

And just as gently and as swiftly as he did appear

He left, but not before whispering one last thing

We were destined to meet and now I leave you here

To live your life in the death that I did bring

Nothing is certain, but we all shall one day meet our death

And then he was gone, I was gone and so was my last breath

You the moon

and I the ocean tide

our love the shore where each combine and then collide

You the sun

and I the sheltered seed

our love the broken soil to where the light would lead

You the music

and I the simple song

our love the everlasting sound that love's contented on

You the heart

and I the steady beat

our love as written, we were destined to meet

Do you believe in destiny? I never truly did before I met you. It seemed that my life was just kind of in a holding pattern and that all the things that happened just happened. No rhyme or reason behind them. Then one day, you appeared. Out of the clear, blue easy, there you were. And the connection was instantaneous. It was as if it had always been, and would always be. I never believed in destiny before that, and yet, it appears that we were destined to meet and to become the best of friends. Our souls are forever entwined and for that I am forever grateful.

My body aching

Self inflicted madness

Laying in wait

Watching for my prey

Innocently bewildering

Unknowingly calling me to you

Your muffled screams

A high for me

Your panic state

A rush of adrenaline

A fix shooting through my veins

Like pieces of a puzzle

Falling into place

Suffering in silence

While you silently suffer

Curing my disease

Relieving the pain

Your features etched in my head

A lifetime of yearning

Can't you see

"We were destined to meet."
