Twin Souls
There is an emptiness
that knows another's emptiness
two voids that cannot be seen
the feeling of an abyss
darkness with no meaning
Existential Longings
for voices
that cannot be heard
a neverending anguish
that cannot be expressed in words
The beating of one's heart
reverberates the pain
There is no heartfelt joy
in endless
cosmic yearnings
Tears bring no relief
for these
gravitational longings
only the sun and moon and stars
earthly pain below
Two hearts, two bodies
one thread of infinite love
continental separation
joined only
by the heaven's above
twin souls wait helplessly
for their futures to unfold
they wait
to be joined forever
stars waiting to implode
Souls waiting for their destiny
waiting to be beloved
they wait
to burn inexorably
a combined self-sustaining sun.
