Soulmate

Can you promise me sunshine
Days filled with joys such as others
can only dream of

Can you grant me love songs and
poetry
to fill my heart to bursting
from such bliss

Do you promise me contentment
Years spent in easy camaraderie
knowing each others unspoken thoughts

Say yes, oh please, do answer yes
for these sweet promises will
capture me
For love, this love, is sweeter
still
my soulmate, promise me

Life's end

There is nothing I have done
in this life of dreams and sorrow
that I would trade away
for just one more glad tomorrow

I feel reality shift and tilt
the end is here, or soon it shall be
and all the things that I hold dear
are smoke and mirrors, sweet slim reality

The voices rise, too soon they're fading
Loved ones close, yet then depart
My life is done, I'm slipping quietly
Slowing now, be still my heart

The Pledge

I stand and stare out at the world
As darkness takes its final breath
And light seeps round the edge
I revel in the quiet grace
And here I make my pledge

I shall not live this life of mine
In worried thoughts and sad regrets
Of things I have not done
But turn my face up to the dawn
And glory in the sun

Tho' while it's true that I may have
A shorter time upon this earth
Than ever I can tell
It shan't be said that I have gone
Without that I lived well

Soulmate

Be still my soul and listen to
another
For this, the very essence of
connection
Beautiful in it's perfect
intention
Pure as light
Vast as the heavens
I stand in awe
Silently
Awaiting the next utterance
Enthralled
Enraptured
Whole
