Time Barriers
Time Barriers
How can this be
Where did we begin
Not in any kiss
Has passed this secret
Onto the present
Did we miss
Separated in timelessness
Undefined memories
Shimmer in fields
Where your bare feet
Pressed to yellow flowers
I heard you laughing
Dancing will-o-the wisp
Leaned in a doorway
Between worlds
And windows
Of promises
The edge of salvation
Once rested in our arms
We had broken
A thousand nightmares
Hand in hand
Still we walked into
The vanquished dark
Silken threads of another life
Slumbering their stitches
Inside my soul
And life has drawn upon
Its golden needle
To draw me ever closer
To you
Some purpose to purpose
Meant to be
How did we agree
In the great divide
To continue in these separate
Lives
Did I know you would haunt
The remembrance of my blood
Did you know that your pulse
Would someday race
Behind the recognition
Of a strangers face
And love once known
Sings such a peculiar song
Of unknown echoes
Their familiarity
Bringing tears to my eyes
And pierces my heart
With such eternal longings
Far distant your day
Sips on the hours of my night
Alone in our rooms
Behind ocean deep windows
So insubstantial
To reaching thoughts
And the yearnings of love
As to break the walls
Time barriers
All the space between
Our separate lives
And my voice calls to you
Wind from these shores
My eyes will search for you
For ever more
And I will swear
To death and beyond
To find you
One day
Some day
Past time barriers
Never again to leave you
Alone
