SOULMATE

Above all,
I want to love
And be loved--

To consummate
A union of souls
Again,
And again.

To swim
gently
In the waters of oblivion.

To taste the salt-sea sentiments
on my lips,
To feel the fleshy earth
in my hands
To give birth
to joy and children.

I want to
Hold your hand, now and
In the setting sun
Of days

Casting shadows
Outside of time,
Composed of feelings
Which are everything.

I want to be with you
In all places
Warmed by Godly light--

To be with you
In this life, and
The next, and
Yet again, the next.

We will touch
In moments
Which kiss eternity

And our love
Will begin and end
With a poem.
