PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

how is it that we've known each other for what

seems like an unaccountable number of eternities

yet, I've never seen the real you until this too

perfect moment tonight

Islands of beautifully unspecific memories

surround the very essence of what we are

singularly as well as in duet

we've cut quite a unique path

with the impressionable blade of our eclectically

combined living

a lot has been folded into these too few fond

years

and placed lovingly before us upon small scented

sheets of acceptance and shear open mindedness

I live in a polite vacuum of frenzy

as I relive the more memorable moments with you

knowing full well that only the soul could

remember you more fondly

my accomplishments remain constant, warm and

treasured while they are reflected in your

spirit's mirror of safe keeping

we are but glowing happy thieves feeding off

the fat of a brilliant yet to be

I know I shall cry though long before the day

that dawns to see you have flown onwards beyond

beyond this under appreciated vessel of humanity

that we question so diligently

please note that your rapier like light will be

gently missed

but I will leave this suit of flesh and bone

a far better soul for having interacted here

with you

for having LOVED you

and patiently tolerated your less than pretty

short comings

for we were able to teach even as we learned

and I feel I must expose this need in me

to better thank you

seeing as it almost religiously in me grows

we shall see each other in one form or another

soon

very soon

so I live my half of life and with calm

impatience wait for our return engagement

still, I sometimes can't stop my mind from

screaming 'Oh, Please Hurry!'

though I do so very often try

as you very well know................
