You look but cannot see me,
You listen but cannot hear,
You reach but cannot touch me,
You wish but I can’t appear.

I dream but cannot love you,
I desire but cannot hold,
I pray but cannot feel you,
I weep but you can’t console.

We love yet cannot kiss,
We desire yet cannot thrill,
We long for eternal bliss,
We dream... yet we can’t fulfill.

We are... yet we are not,
We are one- though still as two,
We are the loves that we forgot,
You are me... and I am you.

We provide our souls with comfort,
We cherish the words from each,
We desire and also covet,
We love amidst our speech.

We are alive... yet still oblivion,
We are lost but searching still,
We are fabrics never woven,
We are the one; that within can thrill.

Destiny assures that love will come our way,
Destiny will grant us our lips to gently meet,
Destiny will give us that gentle light of day,
For you and I are destiny– and our destiny’s complete.

The Raiders are losers but you are NOT!
Write on

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
