Nameste

My eyes recognise who you are, they see the familiarity of past lives When the recognition was virginal The book of the first, the begining, and the start As my words fail in awe of your presence Nameste, I bow to you Do not take my hand, for I am unworthy I broke the ties that bound our souls Infidelity the scissors which cut the thread You seek now the purity I stained All I offer, all I can do Nameste, I bow to you Such is this life The breakage of the delicate sanctity of destiny The essence escaping the vessel Shattered, on broken glass I walk And as blood seeps from my wounds Nameste, I bow to you. Mistaken, the identity of my soul mate Ruined, the betrayal of a decieved heart He spoke in your voice, his touch felt like thine own Fallen, unto the spell of falsehood And as you now appear, truth appears In my disgrace Nameste, I bow to you. As your face reveals your disappointment Those eyes reveal hope You ask that I stand and face you now You offer your hand once more Eternally my remorse shall shame me As you speak, and you say the words Nameste, nameste, I bow to you

Well, now I see it all within a different light!? Thank You Beautiful Julie Cottingham, for explaining this unto me---But you are not unworthy, of anyones hand! For yesterdays are forever gone-washed away with the falls of what might have been!? I can see "Your Heart & Soul" now~And they are "Beautiful" unto me~the more that I behold "You"~The more it is that I shall bow, unto "You!"~"With Love, Always, John!:)

Nameste is a hindu word word meaning -I bow to you, I just thought it was a beautiful word and wrote this around it, it has no personal message from me, and does not hold anything more than a poetic write, as always my friend as a wonderful friend I would however say Nameste, to your poetic brilliance and your beautiful nature, God Bless you xxx

"Hello Beautiful Julie Cottingham!"~Good evening dear~This is a very profound write-but who is Nameste? Someone from another sphere? Or someone else? I hope that I am not the false, of your now recognitions? For this would be sad I believe! Let not, these phantoms, come betweenst us~for what is fate, lest it be held, within ones own hands, tangible, and not merely a ghost of thought!?~"Love Always To You, Dearest Julie Cottingham~'You Are Worthy'~John!:)
