New work

Destiny Paired

Creation of a busy mind-
Flashbacks of long forgotten thoughts;
Mirages best off left behind;
Melded from a million parts.

What was but distant dreaming
Of the carnage of broken hearts-
Those coming and of those leaving-
Ups and downs with the leftover scars

Of loves and battles lived and fought.
Through all of this comes life’s clichés;
Hard to think past what love brought;
Ray of hope beckons shines this day.

Each morning awakens new hopes-
Thrilled at the prospects of sharing
Life’s moments and joys for the post;
Screams to the world of this pairing.

T'is rare to have founded two near
Souls and spirits evenly matched;
Kindred wanderers over years
Are found, though the differing paths.

An eye towards the future bright-
Of lives and love together true,
Such feelings are forever right,
Wanting every night with you.
