Parallel Lovers

"Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another." Kahlil Gibran

....

Two lovers, kindred in spirit, though separated, speak to one another across the vast realms of parallel worlds.....

I can see you! Though first hidden in the depths of my mind, you now linger on the wind.

Echoes of a lover, for lack of anything more, this is the best residual image I can send.

I long to know you, hold you, breathe in your scent beneath the glorious, sun-filled sky.

Until then, I’ll send clouds of my love billowing overhead, so you'll know I tell no lie.

But shall we, two linked souls, ever truly meet, perhaps on the edge of the ocean’s shore?

If hope manifests and bestows kindness, then yes, our two worlds will open the doors.

Despite your kind words, formidable despair steps into my heart, evolving only to invade.

Don’t let fear overcome what you’re aware of, nor should you doubt the love you crave.

You speak words of encouragement, but tell me: is it what your heart truly knows?

I believe we two souls, like twin stars in two galaxies, do exist; we are not faux.

In the sun, you’ve made me glow with a smile. Shall I send my love to you on its rays?

No need, my sweet, for I'm already wrapped snugly in your love's overwhelming array.

Separate souls, two lives, two beings are we - though we're apart, our hearts beat as one.

Despite the vast distance in parallel planes, one day, together our time will be spun.

When that celebrated day arrives, I’ll clasp you tight in a moment most divine.

And then, like our love, we two, ever twain, shall coexist in a world so sublime.
