The kindred soul
Protected and protector
Roles manifested only with instinct
Two minds as one with lifetimes shared
Ambitions entwined and futures unbounded
Romance unleashed
But the heart’s desires are not sustained
That hope of ages melts
Time tells that tale of fanciful wishes
Realities burned by reality
No karma no kismet
No one or other
It’s time to know
That dreams are just dreams.
The poets write and the singers sing,
And the movies move me to tears.
All speak of that, which I have never seen,
Though, I have never ceased searching the years.
All bring to bear that longing so deep,
So deep that I burn with the fear
I know too well it’s longing eternal
Endemic and permanent here.
To have those lips with breath so fleeting,
Caress the words I hold so dear.
With heart pounding, ear trembling I wait
Say it once
Say it please
Say it and mean it,
And tell me
I wait.
And tell me.
There, there.
I’m here.
The Fat of Now
