Mate of The Soul

We’ve never met
and yet, I know your heart,
the length, the depth and the heighth of it.
For, I know that you exist
as sure as I taste my own breath.

You are the mate my soul has reached for
in search of beautiful bond
in all it’s strong fragility.
You are my déjà vu
of one heart and spirit
falling into the sky.

We are earth and universe
of bodies bound in wake
soaring as eagles exhaled
through the wind’s fingers.

In mesh I wear your flesh
of kismet gown profound,
a familiar unknown
through the mapping of your soul.
You write of simplicities and intricacies
in perfect rhyme with mine
spreading it’s spill of quill
upon skin pages;
And I shall drink of your ink
in cadence of friend and kindred
into a sigh’s vastness
of love’s meter and flow.

Memories crash like waves,
their shores awash over contours
effervescence echoed synchronicity
woven in the tapestry of us.
You are my cup of life
in which I sip
of a hundred vows before
where you and I sailed
through passion overfloweth
into the cream of dreams come true.

Though grains of sand may trickle time
our tide is fated, destined.
Let the stars stand as witness
we are genesis of touch
let my goddess fill your air with supple
so you shall drown in my eyes
in the soft of my sea
we are all-encompassing, infinite.

Reason never questions why
and karma never explains,
for, this is God’s plan
it’s not in our hands.

By Melissa Long-Monette

True love knows not of race or time,
a choice it is of fate divine.

Love is poetry of the heart,
a destined, sacred work of art.

I knew someone like that once... It seems we've got to wait for another life to meet again though.

Beautiful poem and images.

Thank you to all who replied....it always mean a lot to have your support. This is probably one of my favourite 'soulmate' poems.
And of course, thank you to Karilea for editing my poem and for the bonus reply

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Honeybee,

The images are just as beautiful as your love poem. I enjoyed every word of it!

Melissa,
Well it has been a long time since I've gotten to fawn all over your writing. How I missed it. Fabulous dear girl. When he shows up I hope you introduce me! If no one else will tell you, I will: You don't write enough.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
