Soulmate

I'd met once
not long before -
a mate
who was matched
in mind to mine.

We gazed together
at same horizon
in same frame of time -
spotted hues
smelled fragrance
sought and thought
in ways similar

when nights and days
were chatted away
sipping sizzling cups
of tea and lime.
Our paths had met
once and once alone
by chance, destiny
it was to move on
without any ponderance
on the sweetness of

our rhyme.

We parted road
changed direction
moving on was will of life

No questions there
remained to raise
no need to seek for reason
why it was meant
to look ahead
why couldn't norms

entertain us

why life couldn't be asked

for more of life

in this life?

Never for once

did we stop or listen

to heed melody of our souls,
small surprise then
I never realised-
person that'd been
left behind was

true partner
to my whole.

Not until the night

before did

a realisation dawn
transported I was
shipped ashore

across waters of sublime
Lo behold it seemed

no dream, I was there

in sweet company

it was my friend
with you
I was at home.

We walked
we talked
looked, laughed and
stopped along to listen
pouring forth
in our silence
were no less than

a thousand word
so much was said
not much undone
without utterance
of a kind.

Your glance was set
upon my face-
it warmed aglow

my gaze
without speaking
you raised a hand

to stop from fall

a single drop
holding on to lash.


Lips then moved
while hearts rejoiced -
sanity began to slip
my words flowed alongside

yours in a conversation

divine up along

till pause was reached

in time to seize in heart

the demand

of random flutter.

A surge was felt-

it paved the way
to give in to temptation
hands held abay
pushing away
from sway of stray emotion

when pupils locked
passions razed
to pinnacles of desire
I chose it then

to lay my head

to rest

it was against the heart

I sensed, homecoming

it was forever!

The moment lasted
a fleeting second,
next minute it was gone.
our breaths had risen

to fall in heave
leaving us to wonder
how the hell we'd survived

the blaze of life

with fortitude

and no ardour?

All we did was
to lay and savour
when peace and vigour
gushed in force

from deep tranquil hollows

our souls were filled

right to their brims
for one had met

the other.

I woke up next
in empty bed, turning over

to my side desperately in vain

I tried to hide
as rays of sun

did hit me;

painfully

it extinguished

the night, light

extended sight and vision

I c'd see with my stretch

of arms, a working day

had begun.

There was no time
to swoon or moon for

while sweet bliss it was

with you near

no heart breaks now, its okay

even tho' you're gone
for I've had

my chance, a special moment
it'll hold to

make my smile to linger
happily I'll mill about

my daily grind, strive around

till supper.

Rise and shine

I'll my love now, to hum

along the way
I'll search for memories
all day through in experience

that was meant to last

be eternal it was not

yet O how beautiful

it was for sure

when mind had

mated mind!
