when souls split in two

wandering the earth

knowing not there is another

so like themselves

one must wonder

were they to cross paths

would they recognize

their other half?

.

.

.

.

an existence of survival

going from one day to the next

concentrating solely on

the day to day

seeking a place to call home

but never quite fitting in

the place i’ve chosen

like an itchy sweater

it grates on my nerves

uncomfortable

i am closed off

protecting my heart

from ever present fear

the ache within

dying the slow death

of the mundane

on my travels

i come to a crossroads

a meeting of paths

someplace i will come to know

as the beginning of all

the moment my world changed

a rebirth to life anew

i feel a foreignly familiar tug

from a far off place

i can feel

another presence

he makes himself known

feeling of something

new and unusual

yet i find this experience

warm and familiar

soothing me

the pull strengthens

curious, i must know

i must understand

what this means

i follow my heart

as he leads me

off the normal path

he is a kindred spirit

opened to me, vulnerable

holding no sentinels

to ward me off

he holds a key

to the long held locks

that protect my heart

he calls me to him

to warm myself against his flame

and he draws closer

for i am fire

twin flickers of candlelight

join together

complimenting eachother

amplifying

mingling, dancing

growing together into

flames that lick the sky

a reaction of chemistry

he holds me to him

speaking softly

gently urging me

never let go, my love

instant connection

holds us entranced

eachother’s fascination

we are consumed in

a passionate embrace

the world melts away

leaving only this

feeling of rapture

in a warm embrace

ecstacy shared

in a single breath

every moment

a treasure

eternal longing

a sweet release

absence of fear

love eternal

comfort

freedom

home
