Soulmates?
As in lovers fated to be?
You talk of two souls linked
By the red thread,
Don't you?

Yes, Soulmates...
I've heard of that before of course.
Heard of souls that were
Split across
The wide universe
Never complete without the other.
Like as if made of the same spark
As if playmates in the wheel
From the first breath to the last
And then all over again.

No.
Not Soulmates.
But lovers whose souls mate
As they gaze through windows
With eye-lids for shutters
At the glory of each other.

There is pain in yearning souls
And pleasure at the contact;
The trembling surrender
In pockets of secret words of hidden truths
And spaces of sacred silence.
The engulfing sweetness
In reflections in the eyes
Whose soul says it knows
The refractions of the other.
The velvet caresses
Of soul melding into soul
Over shared time and
Timeless existence.

So not Soulmates
But two Souls that mate
Invoking the oldest alchemy
Of turning two to one
Finer than gold
A manifestation of
Pure divinity.
