Where

Show not tell
Oh, infidel
Where does thou mind take you now
In thy likeness share
the pain I bear
Coz love is a cross too much too much
I fear

A chapter closed

I say good bye to you
good bye to the love story that never was
And never will

I close a chapter now
And forever, in this lifetime
Because I believe in soulmates
I believe in love

Thank you for the magic
Of that once in a lifetime dream
sitting by the ocean
hidden by a gleam

Thank you for the talk
that was really more
Our souls somehow met then and there
and we knew

How can I cry
Over something that never spilled
How can I bemoan
something that never started

Still this heart of mine still cries
coz goodbyes can be so sad
But, I still have to say it
Good bye Pied Piper

Catching a cloud

I stare at him in wonder
He's a white cloud turning gray
I try to catch him and fail
Always forgetting he's air
To be Somewhere, anywhere
Is where he would rather be
I try to catch him and fail
I wanna know how it feels
To catch a flighty white cloud
Feel the air around me; Fly

Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
Its ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

No April fool joke

Today, I broke up with you. I broke up because I wanted to deal with serendipity, with soulmates or twin souls or whatever the universe has conspired with Fate to make this cruel joke.
I want to apologize though I dont know what for. Maybe because I know I have hurt you.
I am exchanging my Good mayor with the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
I dont even know where this will take me. I foresee a lot of Trouble in the future especially if it does happen that we are twin souls.
However, God knows everything and I dont want to do things by myself anymore and I dont want to leave A senselessly waiting for me.
Sometimes I wish this magic never happened but only on the tip of my brain, because who can tell where this road is going? And when have I ever refused an adventure? My bestfriend has described me as the dangerous one because of my inclination to decide when my feelings are at its peak, but rarely do I regret those types of decisions and oftentimes I am more at peace when I folow my intuition.
Right now I can say my mind has taken a reckless pace and I am not sure if my heart is in the lead but if Fate and Serendipity are working together I dont know what will stop them.
And when twin souls meet... it almost always leads to a revolution around them.
Dear God, surely it wont be too hard... please?

Soul mate

When I saw you some time ago, I knew something was different, that this person would be interesting. You're a fascinating creature, an interesting piece. When you held my hand, the phrase "fit like a glove" fit that moment perfectly. Talking with you made me ignore that I have slept barely 2 hours last night and with you there was no dull moment, no boring space. When we spoke, I felt that you had suddenly opened my mind and read it. You used different words but we had the same thoughts. The words I needed to say need not be said any more because you had said them. Connections, chains unbroken, kindred souls, soul mates...

I will forever hold that moment in my heart and mind. Thank God there was no lover's moon or our connection would have been overpowered by rising emotions. There was no pressure to be different, to be someone else, to have credentials because we were in a different league. Our standards were of different class, our worlds had suddenly formed their own separate bubble yet we were still on earth.

Beside you was peace. There was no sexual tension, no electricity that sparked, no words that burned. There was only calm amidst the storm. There was a shore beyond the strong unpredictable waves. And even if there was awkwardness, that awkwardness stemmed from the feeling that this should be wrong but it felt not.

I'm thankful that you answered my Why's.
