Best Souls Collide Poems
When I look into some people’s eyes,
I see NOTHING.
Yet in other people’s eyes,
I see SOMETHING…
Distant, yet recognizable,
And I want to get closer.
But when I look into your eyes,
I see EVERYTHING,
And when our eyes meet,
Our souls collide,
And ANYTHING is possible.
In your eyes,
I am healed.
WHEN THE LOVE DIES
When the love dies…
When the love dies, and you feel buried alive
You discover, hidden secrets...
Then two souls collide!
Enigmas and mysteries, like history unwinds
Raw emotions spill right out of your soul…
There is the fury… there is a fire
It will burn you if you lose all control
Chorus
You know that it’s a sad day,
When you give up trying to keep it alive….
Since the bonds have broken,
You’re shackled to the moment
When the love dies!
When the love’s gone,
When the love’s gone and you’re alone in the dark
Do you ever wonder where it goes to,
When it’s lost the spark?
When the questions go unanswered
And you’re still on your own
And you contemplate the purpose of life
Emptiness fills you…
You still feel the fire…
As it burns a hole right into your soul
Chorus
You know that it’s a sad day,
When you give up trying to keep it alive….
Since the bonds have broken,
You’re shackled to the moment
When the love dies!
Emptiness fills you…
You still feel the fire…
As it burns a hole right into your soul
Chorus
You know that it’s a sad day,
When you give up trying to keep it alive….
Since the bonds have broken,
You’re shackled to the moment
When the love dies!
You’re shackled to the moment
When the love dies!

You open your mouth
And my breath comes out
My heart spilled on your chest
I know what happens next
Fingers intertwine
I’ll let you blur the line
As our souls collide
You are me and mine
It’s destiny, magnetic force
It’s only natural, I got no choice
It’s co regulation, a chemical bond
I’m tied up, and down, there’s no way around
If there’s no one to hear it, it still makes a sound
In the dead of night
There’s no black and white
No me and you
No wrong or right
I’m scared of my pen like I was born to write
That we’re two halves
Of a different whole
Trauma bond, alcohol
Dependency and Tylenol
Spin in a circle cause the daze gets me high
Truths and a lie
We’re getting by,
year by moment
wipe your tears on my chest
I know what happens next
If we could only comprehend
The miracle of this hour;
Awareness of existence
Is beyond poetic power.
As something we tend to overlook
In our daily routine woes;
Lost in pain and suffering
Forgetting what we know.
Deep within and out again,
Intangibly unbound;
The fact that we’re even here at all
Is incomprehensibly profound.
No less than flower stems
Than stars that swirl and dance;
No less than a baby’s smile
Or true love and romance.
And sorrow, pain and tears like rain
That never stop their fall;
Therein too lie miracles
Perhaps there, most of all.
From out of ashes, rises Phoenix,
Out of fire comes the gold;
Life is more than meets the eye
Or what we can behold.
But I for one and you for two
May meet where souls collide;
And when we both can see eternity
This moment will have died.
Eyes of a Demon
As the young woman walked home late one evening
Little did she know, one gazed upon her with the eyes of a demon
Earily silent except for the sound of her high heels
Demon eyes watching, wondering how ravishing her body would feel
His evil thoughts full of lust
His sinful mouth salivating as under his breath he cussed
When she reaches this corner, her body I'll grab
If she attempts to scream, a knife in her chest I will stab
The closer she got, the faster his heart beat
His body trembling with excitement, anticipating this meet
Closer, closer, closer still
Rape, torture, then kill
The eyes of the demon gazed
The evil intentions of his mind, his conscience did not faze
Then the moment arrived
Two souls collide
Violently he muffled her scream
At first she thought this must be a dream
Then seeing in his hand a large knife
She knew she must fight to save her life
A loud bang, a bright flash in the dark
Through the shadows, she could see she hit her mark
She stood over his prone body as his life drifted away
The demon gaze in his eyes will no longer stay
Faded, gone, in the dirt where his dead body lay
There will come a day when this evil tale of lore
All demon eyes will be destroyed and exist no more
For now, let's be warned my friend
Beware of the demon eyes gazing, lusting for your life to end
Fate takes two billion pairs of matched Souls
Mixes them up
And scatters them (randomly)
Across the face of this Earth
Like a mother and her baby
Each Soul knows the call of its Mate
But Fate's cruel hand
And twisted irony
Separates each Alpha from his Omega
Each Yin from her Yang
So, this World is filled with the keening of
Lost Souls
Unrequited Love
And Poetry
But Fate cannot bend Nature's laws
Some Lucky Souls fall close
To fulfill their sublime destiny
And a few Souls collide
As their paths and fortunes cross...
Wet blades of freshly clipped grass stick to my feet as I make my way through the dark to the pair of arms that are my home.
The very essence of my being swells with warmth as I enter the magnetic field that surrounds you, continuously drawing me in as my mind is now at ease. This is where I’m supposed to be.
As our souls collide with the slightest contact my anguish dissipates into a thousand particles released high into the sky, a sensation unattainable via any other means.
The realization of what it means to be alive radiates onto my body like the first warming rays of spring emerging after the dreariest winter.
Some may say this is the most potent drug I have ever come to know—as addiction and the corresponding withdrawal symptoms are immediate and all consuming.
Only I’ve never been as sober as the moments I am home—in these arms that provide my own with strength when they become weak, the arms that shelter me when I’m filled with fear, the arms that are my guidance to everything that I’ve ever wanted to be.
We are naïvely unaware of which parts of ourselves are incomplete until we have gradually combined with another as one, and then post-discovery we will never be able to forget.
My body and mind perpetually yearn to be within the realm of your own long after the pieces of you that fit into the cracks of my essence like putty are removed.
Thus my wounds remain exposed for far longer than I knew was possible as a girl filled with holes attempts to live, at best survive, in these series of houses that are not a home.
They are not your arms.
State of the puppets as one stands before your jury.
Eyes proclaiming damnation and fury. The puppetmasters of society pulling at the strings.
Commands gaining volume as your ears start to ring. Whispering false statements of who you must be.
So in fear of their glances I rejected being free.
Then stone hit stone in igniting friction.
A flame caused by the spark igniting acceptance addictions.
Two souls collide and break the illusion. The strings snap and gentle hands clasp through all confusion.
A soft voice speaks reminders of the child you used to be.
Urging your return to self allowing you to see.
The fear of bliss' initial kick gives fright enough to run.
But worlds collide as broken hearts begin to beat as one. A bond is formed by fate. Masks fall. Self doubt begins to flee.
This force of love revealing what only this man's eye can see. Staring past your blockages behind you used to hide. Setting free the inner child you slowly killed inside.
In visions clear I squeeze his hand. I found a place called home.
A warm sensation promising Ill never be alone.
A spark turns into bonfires. As two twin flames connect.
Intertwined acceptance merges rebuilding what is seen as two shipwrecks. But flaws go blinded selves revealed as true eyes pierce the veil.
A brighter ocean sun takes rise connected ships set sail.
They sail to lands laid far beyond and ride the tides that rise.
But no wave crossed is strong enough to lead to their demise.
They sail to freedom both as one forgetting what has passed.
The puppetmasters furied by the prisoners they lost
A long time since I felt this,
It feels like you've touched
And plunged into my heart;
Each time you pull me in your arms
It feels like we go into a free fall
And we can't stop...
I wish to lose myself with you,
Fix my heart furthermore,
Show me the ways.
Let's not let this fade
Because it's almost like nothing I've ever felt before...
I miss you,
I want you,
Show me your lips,
I want your kisses,
I want your bites,
Give me love, darling;
Friendship, love, romance like this can only grow,
I see potential,
I don't fear commitment,
Is this meant to be?
Let's make this world a sweeter place,
This will be the love we never received,
Make this eternal...
We're beautiful creatures,
We're scarred diamonds,
That wandered without searching,
Yet knowing we could stumble upon something...
The mirage shines,
Until I am yours,
And you are mine;
Our hearts connect,
Our minds synchronize,
Our souls collide;
A romance like this is pure and true,
Yet complicated
But I could express infinitesimal things more...
two souls collide
alike yet so very different
one full of strife
the other one indifferent
are we really free
or are we constricted
is it you, or is it me
a wrong so inflicted
so now please tell me
where do we go from here
do we revel in the past
or look to the future near
where ever our paths
may lead to my friend
I am up for the task
with you til the end
And what if souls collide
A breath of life and mortals ignite
Everything living includes our soul
We are woven into the same whole.
Name of Original Poem: Souled Out
Dated: 1.12.2020
Contest: Liberum Divisa 3.
In twilight's glow, our love begins to bloom,
A sonnet forged from heart, not ink or plume.
For you alone, this verse of passion weaves,
An ode to love, that only you shall perceive.
In realms uncharted, our souls collide,
A love untamed, in depths we cannot hide.
This poem, unique, forged by my desire,
To set your heart aflame, and never tire.
No other hand has penned these heartfelt lines,
They're born within my soul, where love defines.
So rest assured, this verse is yours alone,
A precious gem, with sentiments unknown.
Let "Eternal Embrace" be its rightful name,
A testament to love's eternal flame.
For in your eyes, my words come to life,
A sonnet's journey, with you as my wife.
An overflow,
A stir,
A sensation,
A movement,
A dance,
Butterflies at will,
Migrating,
A hummingbird’s wings flutter,
A swift hand reaches in and through,
Oceans fury crashes itself,
Onto the sift of the bed,
Hearts collide,
Souls collide,
An everlasting feeling.
Oh look at her standing
Over there, she’s got a pretty,
pretty lovely face I swear
This time I’m a going to bring
her home
Home to where I stare
I find anticipation in the Fire
burning brightly
So deeply hoping my eyes
To see her in the naked light
dancing playfully
Oh now I see the wonders of it
all
I’m about to explode from that
tiny little world
She holds deep within her soul
I got to, got to have her
I’m a little bit scared
I’ve got to, got to love her
Baby please, please share
Your life your mind
Every tiny world desire
With me tonight were going lay
Our souls to rest
Now look at her dancing
In my dreams, she’s got a
crazy, sexy way about her I
know
It’s going to be a real good
time
Time is what we have
I see our future in a bottle full
of lust
So praying our souls collide
Once again this time for the
night
Oh now I see the wonders of it
all
I’m about to explode from that
tiny little world
She holds deep within her soul
32 Bar Blues: A Spoken Word Poem
In the shadow of the neon’s dusty glow, Oh, the blues, got me cryin’/echoes of Otis Span whisper, “Why?” Champion Jack Dupree, a voice so true, I’m lost in the Bad Luck blues/
In a world of broken souls, where the road to nowhere stretches on, I found you, baby, like a light in the dark, the blues never dies, it lingers, and it holds you tight/
the weeps and wails, on the south side of a town that’s seen its fails, Slim Harpo in the corner, feeling down and out, the county blues sing a song of doubt/
From the river delta, a treasure unfolds, Folk Cotton Blues, stories untold/ Lightnin’ Hopkins, electric and fast, In the warmth of the back porch, shadows are cast/
Sun House, the father of Folk’s embrace, his lonesome roads live no trace/ blues before sunrise when my baby says I don’t want you any no more/ man, I’m out the door/
Stormy Monday blues, heavy on the Mississippi nation, Tuesday is just as bad, Wednesday just as worse/ man, the week is losing control fast/
Jimmy Witherspoon croons, “Take a chance!” Shake your hip, girl, let the blues make you dance, but baby, I’ll miss you, when the work gang calls/
As Howlin’ Wolf’s spirit through the night sprawls, Back Country Blues, a lineage so strong, in every heartache, a back breakin' song/
In the rhythm of the blues, our souls collide/ let the blues chords carry us, let the rhythm guide us not to a world of sorrow, but to so much joy in our blues pride, from the ashes of a blues life we'll rise and shine, with the 32 bar blues/ I hope you won’t turn me from your door when I have all this blue’s pain of mine / so dig this, the blues are nothin’ but a good man feelin’ mighty bad/
