Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2007-04-07 03:08 AM


My time has come,
my soul speaks to itself,,
waiting to jump out, unknown.

Your soul, an old aquaintance,
touched my life, only once,
marred my heart forever.

As you read these words,
they are more than mere words,
they are the DNA of my existance.

How many moons will pass?
empty days of fruitlessness,
my youth is fading.

Like before, I sit,
a glass half empty,
clear with no color.

Oh, but my heart,
still clings, greives one love,
unable to set it free.

Locked in secret chambers,
with silky dreams,
memories of days past,

Life and love is all that
I say it is, be not afraid,
for It was all true,
my heart speaks truth.

As it is said of old,
another soulmate cannot lie,
to itself.

For what my heart holds,
I can no longer contain,
chained and bound.

Two little butterflies,
set free, sailing into the wind,
aquaintances before, now again.

Never really did they depart,
loves strands tightly held,
clasped together their hearts.

This, our secret of ages,
now revealed, unleashed,
two butterflies can never
go back inside the jar.

Oh, my love, my darling,
come what may, may it be life,
or in death,

You are my true love,
and I am forever yours,
nothing can change that,

not even, time, nor space,
things past, present or yet
to come.

Loves power sustains,
the most powerful force,
ever known to mankind.

Even through loss I am sad,
happiness abides, knowing,
never will I really lose you,

For you are always just a breath
away, for we are both one-of-a-kind,
never shall our souls be at rest,

Roaming throughout the ends of the earth,
not settleing for second best,
searching, greiving pains' tears,
until completeness forms one.

Cursed, I will walk the earth,
being half the person I could be,
until...

Fate will bring you home to me,
once more.

Quite a tribute to ‘Romanticism’ and ‘eternal love’...

I particularly liked images such as:

“Words..(being) the D.N.A. of..existence...”

and:

“My time has come,
my soul speaks to itself,
waiting to jump out, unknown...”

and:

“Cursed, I will walk the earth,
being half the person I could be,
until...

Fate will bring you home to me,
once more.”

Sadly, I have learned all-to-well, however...
that ‘Fate’ seldom calls in ‘positive returns’...
[the cliché has merit: ‘we cannot go home again’...]

Applause on this ‘write’ !

Your words tear at the heart of this reader...feelings poured forth in such beauty and pain always touch deeply...I pray that the vision woven in such words as these will find fulfillment in life...Stunning and very emotional...*Big Hugs*
