Inspired by Nancy's poem "I Knew You".....
I guess the hopeless romantic in me is finally back?!!



We Are Gemini

So shall you collect my eyes
in stare of breathless unfold
born of dreams of another heaven
when God first weeped us in blend;
Where once I knew you from long ago
when we were beautiful combined.

You were the water in the still deep
of my fragrance within the woods.
You were the sea flowing silk on sand
in the tearful night that swam for miles
shimmering the stars a destine drench
as you hung the moon in my voice.
You were the very essence of wind
and I flew your wings then
into the rise of time, into the now.

Rewind; begin again
thoughts meld as I breathe you in,
two feathers, air to earth
fate’s choreograph
diving ocean’s wake.
We drink skin velveteen
and live a thousand lives
rising down into the up
of falling with intensity.

For, we are Gemini,
souls of twin flames
through the ying and yang of life
ever burning tomorrow’s forever.

H*pe still smoulders..yes it'll happen for you M it's there all you have to do is be brave enough to take it when the time comes. This is simply fantastic writing through and through and it warms a heart to see that it still breathes in you no matter how hard you fight it.

Melissa, this made me breathless. You made me remember that all this heartache is worth it.
I have my memories..and you just brought them back.

Beautiful Melissa...
I am so pleased that I could inspire you...
and to read your words and see your smile once again...
Oooh I am so pleased.
~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
