Love beyond Perception
~~~~~~~~~


Two  soul  mates  part
"nothing  lasts  forever"
I  doubt  we'll  ever  meet  again
"I  love  you ...
there  will  be  no  other"
this  parting  fills  my  heart  with  pain
~
You  heart  is  drifting
so  I  release  you
a  cheerful  past  can  I  forget
Though  I  may  wander  life  in  sorrow
my  prayers  are  that  you're  happy  yet
~
Perhaps  in  time
on  a  lonely  evening
your  thoughts  will  reminisce  of  me
And  wonder  if  I'm  even  living
that  night  I'll  think  the  same  of  thee
~
Through  this  lonesome  life  I  wander
alone  with  thoughts
of  only  you
Your  memory  blinds  my  sight  forever
with  love  far  greater  than  you  knew
~
When  slowly  all  your  friends  depart  you
those  friends  you  thought
you  needed  so
Bare  in  mind  the  friend  you  departed
still  loves  you  greater  than  you  know
~~~


In the mood I was in, I spent a long time writing and rewriting this poem ... It's been tweaked a bit over the years but the original feelings still lay within

How sad to lose a soulmate. But you aren't feeling sorry for yourself, since you were mature enough to hold those special memories close to your heart for comfort.

Rex this is LOVELY,
a beautiful bittersweet inspire.
the vocab and poetic phrasing is perfect.
and its so nice to see you back here with us  

I know no one is to blame
In time youll feel strength when you call my name
I know Ill never hold you again
And I know Ill never be the same

Hi there Rexie  
Well I've been wandering round this internet space for a while now and not been to passions in ages, came in for a peek to see if any of my old buddies were still here and Yep they are....how nice  
Yours is the first I read and what an emotional write it is, I really enjoyed it. Well my friend I can't guarantee I'll be sticking around for long but I hope everyone knows that I'm always thinking of them and passions.
~HUGS~ always
Have a great day...Tracie

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Thankyou Sven ... I think it was the most emotional piece I've written

Regina ... I guess I got lucky ... my second and present wife is my true love ... 20 years
The blindness of love for my first wife lost, was not apparent till the second dawned

Midnitesun ... I thought so ... then I got bitter ... now, I try to look at it as a learning experience

Thankyou Janet ... I enjoy the time I'm able to spend here every now and again

tracie ... you are a sweetheart ... I just came back myself, so all I can say is ... great to hear from you and I'm sure I speak for all when I say
" Post us something girl"
You're too good to go unread
