Another Time, Another World

To the other part of my soul. The person I sometimes forget I am. The person I didn't know I could be.

A place in my mind where other worlds overlap with here and we were immortal, outside place and time.

Our dance of madness and passion that drove us to extremes. Joy and sorrow as we had never known before and only understood, all too well, after the fact.

Shadows and light, demons and angels, ice and fire. Our love was a tumult that soared us both to the heavens and shook us to our cores, leaving us forever marked by the sonata we shared.

These burning embers we carry in our hearts, flickers of another world, another life. Flickers in our memory of what almost was, yet could never be. The difference between destiny and fate; of where we are and what our souls yearn to be.

In our time together we carved out this romance and tragedy that will be etched in our souls anon.

And in the journal of my soul will ever be the book mark to your chapter, to our story, in my heart til the end.

Onyx Eyes

You were a ghost

A spectre upon the air

Wandering shade within my dreams

Blurred the lines between waking

and my imagining

Finger tips and trembling lips

Eyes that peered into my soul

There was a tenderness

A purity that I felt

Unworthy to touch.

But you pulled me close

And drew me into your world

In your eyes I saw what poets dream of

In your hands you held my trembling soul

As I shuddered against you in release of my

fear and longing

In relief of the loneliness in my heart

Yet like a dissipating fog

You were gone with the changing breeze

And in the gloaming, morning light I am left to wonder

Did I imagine you?

Did I conjure who I thought you were?

Did we briefly share a dream just for me to awake alone?
