Soul Mate
“This time I would catch that shooting star
before its fiery demise!” I loudly proclaimed.
Dispelling all doubt when it comes to wishes...and how a
majority perish like dreams upon awakening (dawn sometimes
not all that is cracked-up to be – forgetting light and dark
having both their treasures and defeats)
Like being alone
and lonely are not necessarily mutual. Many of us continue
to contrast evil and righteousness, using only eyes
and feelings~shades and colors easiest to see and clarify –
opting too readily for something we can taste, swirl in our mouths,
like good and bad kisses. But...back to that star,
as I held it in my eyes long after its parting –
as I gave it gleam, long after its brightest moment –
then gave it your name, realizing you a forever blazing
part of me....
