More than a gut feeling, an intuition..
It wasn’t the darkness that made me blind A reassured conviction of the falsely trapped Another paradox that never really clarified The fine line between death and rebirth; oblivion and consciousness Never recovering from the confusion Scarcity of lucidity and loss of ones light But you’ve shown me one of the many dichotomies of life Coz it was in the dark when I felt your touch A meeting which reminded me of a thousand years Babe, it was never clear But you had always felt familiar Remembering how your fingertips ignited a profound fire within Like a slow burning anticipation of desire In the darkness you have concealed and showed everything I may be writing this from a distant memory Many lifetimes you and I might have shared before Still, something tells me, a nagging feeling From the moment my eyes met yours I felt every fiber of my heart Bringing forth fabric of beats in detailed symphonies Stirring old centuries, Awakening a millennia of great joy and happiness Pulsating wildly and contained in that single fraction of time I saw the beauty you’ve never shown Like a lovely bonfire perfectly set on this calm peaceful lake Even the moonlight failed to outshine you The shadows, the coldness of the world It only commemorated your warmth And, no, my mind can never be sure It couldn’t grasp the suspicions that raged my soul Explanations, it can never find But- Darlin’ I know, I was always yours, and you were mine after all..

This one seemed so personal that it's hard to comment. So I'll leave it at that.

Flows with unforced ease. It has the assurance of a positive declaration.

There is much evidence for the story you weave so well--of soul mates who find each other again and again in new incarnations. Poems should tell a story and your tales of love are among the most enchanting.

Ms audrine, such intensity I feel from between the lines; such intelligence it takes to create a fire like this from within; I enjoyed reading this several times to understand it better and that last line says it all, a perfect ending to a powerful write...thanks for sharing it & thanks for stopping by my recent posting, much appreciated...-e-
