Soulmate Soultwin

Poem Artwork

 
Soulmate of mine 
you're making me shine 
Heartbeat after heartbeat 
in this love I retreat 

Shelter my weary aching soul 
away from contempt and scold 
You are the shoulder upon wich I rest 
snuggled safely in your secure nest 

I feel like taking a slowdance 
bask in the glory of romance 
Differences are miniscule, small 
as we write our story upon loves wall 

My trust in you is complete 
my heart I place at your feet 
because you have 
made my sorrows obsolete 

Soultwin of mine 
oh how you shine 
This glow stark and fierce 
will light your path for years 

A path upon which I would follow should you ask 
head over heals throw myself upon this task 
Your shadow linger like a ghost in my heart 
is there a place far enough from it to part 

I feel this intense, dark obsession
craving you is my confession 
I would throw myself at your feet 
make my life outdated, obsolete 

My desire for you is an aching need 
I fear if I attempt its flames to feed 
I'd sink into your world swallowed whole 
therefore I beg of you
give back the heart you stole

Ooh that intense yearning, I loved how you expressed it. Sometimes had to catch my breath while reading. Wonderful piece.

Everyone needs a soul mate. I've had a few. Unfortunately they ended up leaving a hole. The last stanza is a twist. It's bold and powerful. Loved it.

This poem is so full of passion and action that I was really loving it until I hit that last line and it all came apart for rethinking. Cool.
