Soul Mate

 

Is he really
full of intense passion?
Driven by power
and capable of maddening
jealousy over his
one true love?

Could he love
a nurturing and
stubborn spirit who
desperately craves his
passion?

A deep and loyal love,
a fierce stubborn streak
shared by two
souls who looked beyond
a crowded room and took a chance.

Strangers seeking something
they haven’t yet found,
a destiny already written
or yet to be determined.

Building a bond
of affection and trust,
appreciation of form.
The possibilities of
what it would be
to come face
to face.

A smoldering look,
two lost hearts
finally seeing what
they’ve been
desperately searching for.

In Her Eyes

 

At times they are the color of the ocean;

A reflection of turquoise

Sea kissing

Vanilla sand.

Beautiful eyes that have

Loved passionately,

Witnessed great kindness,

Crinkled with laughter.

To the outside world,

There is only joy,

Nothing dark or demanding.

Only she knows what lies

Behind her ocean view.

“They reveal too much,”

She often says.

Where is there to hide

Within eyes that reflect a soul

That encases her deepest

hopes and desires?

Eyes exposing secrets

She dare not surrender,

While private thoughts gnaw

At her very core.

If you look closely,

Openly and completely,

You will see her.

She is there, behind all

That she is unable

To forget; all that

She is unable to escape.
