We have known each other . . .
Longer than life !
Feeling mutual recognition
Even at our first meeting
We were old new friends
Rekindling what had never been
And what was yet to come . .
Soulmate is a worn adage . .
But it leaps to mind for us
Yet fate comes to split asunder
And circumstance . .
Forbids our happiness
Oh God –
Will we ever play again
Tease and taunt each other
Will we once more wrestle in fun
With strength restrained
Yet emotions rampant
Will we effervesce with joy
Deafened by our silent laughter
As we melt in each others arms
Such joy that drains all energy . .
Sharing forbidden necessaries
Cruel fate just doesn’t understand
For we are cursed by circumstance . .
Will we ever play again ?
Sometimes . .
When I see newborn lambs
Frolicking for reasons unknown to them
Or spring daffodils bend obediently
Bowing to unconscionable winds
And pink blossoms tumble over green lawns
Only to be trapped by garden boundaries
I think and feel for us . .
In purgatory
How I long for eternity to come . .
Where all things are put to rights
And hopefully . . we will play again –
In righteousness

Love the picture too. Thank you for entering.
