Soul Mates

I stood at the front of the ship

and waited for you, as the breeze

whipped my hair, fanning my flame of desire;

I waited, knowing I would sense your presence;

Has it not always been that way?

We can be in the same room, and

without seeing you, I know you are there.

Our hearts beat in rhythm to one

another, and the distant beat of yours always finds me,

leading me to that quiet symphony that only we two can hear.

I closed my eyes and drank in the salty air,

and I felt your hand on my shoulder.

How is it that you can make me tremble

from  the slightest touch?

How is it that  surrounded by water,

I only seemed to drown in your eyes,

which called to me until I just fell,

caring about nothing but being in your arms,

your lips tasting me.

You took my hand and led me away

to our special place, and for those moments

I was yours and you were mine.

Heaven was ours,

and we rose and fell with the tide,

flesh to flesh,

heart to heart,

bone to bone.

It was our time,

our season of coming together,

and when we parted,

we shed no tears,

knowing that one day

our season will come once again.
