Julie Cottingham Poet Free verse

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

John Rhinem December 11, 2008 at 10:40 AM 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!:)

Julie Cottingham December 11, 2008 at 10:00 AM 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

John Rhinem December 11, 2008 at 9:54 AM "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!:)
