Eternal Quest

Our first chance encounter
a sultry night of warm embrace
Entering my life, in that langourous manner
shining bright for all to see
then hidden away like a guilty child
Skulking in the dark

Years spent in the shadow of loneliness
nothing without you!
Will I spend the aeons as half a soul?
Pondering fates churlish whim

Darkness gives way to dawns smile
I see your hesitant return
stained by wordly sorrows
Shock forces the succinct gasp!
as you embrace my soul once more
seeking out the shadow self
guiding it towards your incandescent self

Forever seeking that unique creation
souls conjoined
within the sphere of understanding

would that our eyes were opened
