Soulmates -

You opened up the door and welcomed me so shyly

A mass of fringe;

strawberry tinged and then I knew you

Though perhaps naively you defined a girl to me

All through my teens sans self-esteem, I waited long…

At first I didn’t know what this was or could be

But now I’m sure you are the one who holds me tightly

Walking together, growing strong

Amidst this void we found our call

Settle, I had not

For all I dreamed of, I’d got

Though some may claim it’s fabled

Tell that to my wife!

Will I ever live my life in a lifetime

With a lioness to share my pride and goals

And I found her from the others

There’s a siren in the darkness

With nothing else to be seen

She is all that is there

Her love in the dark

Her laugh is the lightning

She’s the only one I call my soulmate

An unlikely pair;

fire and earth

The stars would scoff at us, if we dare

An innocent friendship, the start of Him and Her

But I refuse to have my life spelled out

Only we knew what was missing

Only we can make us whole

And I can trust you only

I believe you may indeed be my soulmate
