Meeting in the dark,
away from prying eyes.
Away from wagging tongues,
spewing evil venom like a snake.
Our love must go on,
for we are soul mates.
The lights look like diamonds,
your diamond eyes match.
Somehow this view left me,
totally speechless.
Once upon a time, it was a good day to be camping with the friends,
We stroll into the campgrounds, put the logs into the firepit,
Light the fire in the fire pit, get out our marshmallows,
We sit on the makeshift benches, we have the ingredients,
To make our Mountain Dew glow in the dark,
We exchange ghost stories as we roast our marshmallows,
We hold our soul mates hands, as we sip our sodas,
Some of our soul mates jump, startled by,
Mike’s ghost story as he performs with his body language,
the mysterious ghost of Darkwood cemetery,
our soul mates suddenly jumps,
a shooting star passes over as we gaze at the stars,
brightly shining, we wish upon the star,
as we gaze into each other’s eyes and wish upon the star,
that, we be soul mates forever,
Oh, yeah, it was a good day to be camping with the friends.
You are the balance of black and white
The realization that God is so alive
The gentle grasp of pleasure that ignites
The purest peace filling up my insides
You are the rousing splendor that excites
You, realization of purest splendor!
We won't find a soul mate dished up on a plate,
We won't find a soul mate if we always complicate,
We won't find a soul mate if we over compensate,
We won't find a soul mate if we procrastinate,
We won't find a soul mate if we don't participate,
We won't find a soul mate if their importance we underestimate,
or over their existence speculate.
Our eldest daughter found her soul mate,
And did not hesitate,
An example for others to emulate.
As for her parents fate,
That is up for serious debate,
Now that I suspect I have a friend who to me does resonate,
To me all the aspects of soul mate,
When it is too late,
Yet I cannot help but speculate,
About a different fate,
Or a late change contemplate,
Even though it might complicate,
Tentatively, I opened up to you with my soul.
I feel the calm connection that binds us as whole.
This Love we share makes me cry.
I beg and beg and wonder why!
You have chosen me, me! as tears start to flow.
You tenderly embrace me with love, that knows.
We stare deeply into our eyes, lost in love.
As our hearts open their wings like a dove.
Our souls are on fire as our hearts ignite the flames.
We are one, unbreakable, for our love will not be tamed.

Someone’s Calling You
Someone’s calling you
To awake within the dream
Simply see the love
That has only always been
(11/19/23)
caught in a dark space of the in-between
drowned in emotions to others unseen
too proud to walk backward, can't step ahead
once starving fears are now constantly fed
moments when hands seem to comfortably touch
change to discomfort, an unwanted crutch
clichés of bright sides or things meant to be
sincere intentions, help to small degree
soul search seems endless and to no avail
but needs not come down to succeed or fail
mindset has no shelf life..no hourglass sand
what time you take is the time that's at hand
you needn't feel dirty now to come clean
find your comfort in a warm in-between
I push and shove because you’re the only one I wanna love/
Out of all the birds in the sky above you’re my only lovely dove/
I don’t want to get high I just want you next to me we’ll fly/
I never want you to cry I just never want our relationship to run dry/
This kind of effort and care you can’t buy/
I can’t take one more lie as trust is the only way we’ll thrive/
So alive I am to provide for our tribe and for us to strive/
Had a horrific drive but God let me slide by to survive/
No longer out to connive and deprive/
Hopes to derive the best for our lives in my eye/
Focus on the prize to utilize and sanitize strife/
I’m sorry sometimes my words slice like a knife/
My head’s not right with some slights I’ve had in my life/
There’s a different spice I’ve revised with old throws of dice/
Less iced I’ve learned to become more accepting and nice/
It’s the right price if you heard my advice/
I never want to hold you down like a vice or grip too tight/
Just need you to walk with me through the night more into the light
She came to me
with Jesus by her side
and softly told me
there was no need to cry
The savior king
has vanished all our sins
and given us an environment
where we can only win
She took my hand
and began to pray
and I saw all the goodness
in the night and day
Soul mates we would
have to be
Me and her
and the Holy Trinity
They collided
it was fate, destiny, it was rather awkward.
Brief introductions by a third party
led to instant dislike.
It was kismet. It was painful.
She disliked his manner,
he loathed her phony affectations.
From the very start
they kept miles apart.
Ten reincarnations later
it got no better.
Eventually a fickle fortune
placed then in a broken elevator
four hours alone together,
a centuries-old hostility
finally evaporated
hearts melted.
A spiritual attraction
revealed to them
that they had always been
soul-mates!
They got hitched in a hot-pepper fever
It was love at last-sight,
it was not right,
it was a fatal karma
soon they plotted
to murder each other.
One was killed dead,
the other went to bed
happier.
I'm crazy, of love
you are crazy... for loving
complete soul mates, ?
Leaning in, I INHALE an aroma so sweet
Entwining VINES reaching ten feet
Deceiving-this beauty can appear
Bright HUED flower has sharp thorns everywhere
Carefully, I GRASP the long stem
Cut at an angle, then attach it to my hem
I HOLD my breath as I flap my wings
I GASP when I almost drop the rings
Using the wind to help me SOAR
I GLIDE with the current to her door
One long- stemmed rose I CLASP within my CLUTCH
With her heart, my soul she did touch
I ask her hand, assuring my intentions pure
Side- by- side we will journey through a future unsure
Heart- to- heart; two angels align
Perfect harmony; soul mates divine

A sprinkle of destiny releases
into a filled to capacity room
To swim about the viewers
and humming a resounding croon
Wafting through the air
with a kindled message to the ones
unaware of a fate that
imminently shall become
Familiar unknown eyes target and bind
through a room filled crowd
Hearts have solved their mystery
now beat forever together
upon their cloud
No wrinkles on our heart,
From love, let's never part,
True soulmates have no age,
In my heart, you're on my page!
SOUL MATES
From across the room
Her brightness evacuates my gloom,
As she looked at me
Slow mo' in retro is all I see.
Oh! The room stood still,
Ample time to Ravel in this thrill
As I closed my eyes
Levitating on a whole new height,
Reached out my hands for a show,
In return I got a solemn soul,
Our soul hold sway,
this gotta be the way;
That's when I knew we're soul mates
As I arrive at my earthen heaven's gate.
