Inspired by an article by one of my Triond friends asking the question whether or not the reader believes in soulmates. I do…..

I was holding out for a love that’s real

Waiting for the one that would

Love and be with me

Forever

No passing fancy or fleeting romance

But a conjoining of souls

An agreement of spirits

A covenant

Built on mutual respect and admiration

Emotional connection; our thoughts intertwined

A love vast and deep as the ocean

Carrying us to another place

A higher plane, beyond the ordinary

People said I was waiting in vain

For a fairy tale life that did not exist

In this realm, but I knew better

Somewhere the one I was looking for

Was looking for me

And you served to prove the naysayers wrong

I found you to be all that and more

And what we now share is

No ordinary love

    Wow… good stuff. After much ordeal life put most through, the idea of a happy ending would almost seem absurd. Glad you found yours. :)

    I’m still looking for that happy ending. I’ve just about given up hope, but I still enjoyed the poem.

    Nice one.

    Many people comment on your peotry and now I am no different. It is unusual for an engineer to fancy writing as well. However you wear the poet hat well.

    Well done.
