Looking for kindred heart
I walked so bold.
Wandering like a child,
yet so old.
Tears welled up
and lapped the sides
of a tired wounded pride;
choked back by fear
in laughters dark disguise.

Through glitter unbecoming
I walked alone.
Tho' the number, disconnected,
I'd dial the phone,
and try to hold a conversation
with the promise of sensation
and find myself
just standing in the cold.

Always speaking the language
of a soul so hurt and angry;
striking out at nothing
but the pain.
Trying so hard to hold on
to the voice that sang a song;
now stifled by the sound
of pouring rain.

Then like a quiet dreamless sleep
you filled the space.
In a heart empty and void
you took your place.
And to this lifeless mask of death,
gave your sweet undying breath,
and gently etched your smile
upon my face.

Now in your beauty, oh so deep,
I drown myself.
In a love that's so complete
I lose myself.
And like my soul has long imagined
I give in to your sweet magic,
and embrace your heart;
captured by your spell.

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

Loved this poem....likeminded souls are hard to find...and a lifetime isn't long enough to be with them!
