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 sil
