The Dance of Falling in Love

Listen to poem:

The dance of falling in love I did not believe in love at first sight its illogical at best but faced with how I felt that day and your memories now to overlay It's clear that love at first sight has stood the test I saw you in a flash and knew I needed to meet you So compelled I walked out of a castle across a brick cobbled road and I put on my best public face to impress and I introduced myself in the most respectable way And we then each knew the others names and only recently you filled me in, you were aware of me too and felt the same That first time we laughed together is when I consciously knew I loved you The pull was not just crazy lust And then at the photo shoot when I touched you and kissed your face so electric I just about bust And as you faced me and then we kissed on the lips for the very first time an electric jolt that became molten in place and for a split second I was yours and you were mine And we both remember it all like it was yesterday which is impossible but true a shared memory I went looking for answers because its over the top We are one soul spread in two bodies They call it twin flame and I repeat I have never felt so complete as when I am with you and at peace it's everything and sublime It just about stops time And I am just so damn glad you are mine, and I am yours The dance of falling in love, to Alan Artimus (C) Susan Manley 7:36 PM 11/06/2023

what a lovely and profound poem about love--two souls merging as one. Not every couple achieves that level of love and bliss. You captured it beautifully. Bill and I are fortunate to have found one another, soulmates...I find that idea comforting and refreshing. Am faving this, Sara

Love your love poem on falling in love instantly, Susan. Sara and I had a similar experience. Forty- one years later, the same love we felt the first date. Bill

The soul has spread between two bodies and when they meet and finally drop into union they make plans to do things to heal the world. Note on Twin flame "You meet them and your life just completely changes. You start seeing the world differently. It pushes you to want to engage with the divine, shift consciousness, and become a better, soulful being in this experience." As mentioned above, a twin flame can be a romantic partner, a best friend, or a mentor.

Thanks I have been having a huge creative burst in book writing and then in poetry. I now need to muddle through the business plan of how to release and promote the first several books because what i am writing is a 4 to 5 book series. Kinda wow.
