Hearts

The simplicity of two hearts,
Both close and wide apart,
Struggles to breaks free from the intricacies of the mind
And freely float out of chronological time.

To reach the temple of love,
My Self guided me to you,
I left my other self behind,
And found instead a Me and You.

You quietly turned inwardly,
And back you came with honesty;
You taught me love can be as strong,
As you and I can make it be.

You led me kindly with your eyes,
To waters running deep.
I followed gently.
You met me in a kiss.

Our kiss could tell
That love was real
With beating of the hearts,
That whispered to each other.

You taught me feelings of joy
I never knew existed,
And stayed with me in times of pain,
Quiet and calm and still.

You showed me you were there with me
When even in the midst of passion,
You argued, loved and hated me,
Lifting me up, putting me down...
The soul of living hearts indeed!

Thank you for laughing here with me
Frowning and being mad,
Crying and getting angry,
Smiling and being happy.

And now, at the end of everything I shared...
That something special about you
Yet once more could not be put into words.
But know that I know it,
And that I love it,
Each day, more and more.
