The Truth About Soul Mates

because I felt like writing a poem for her. =)

I’ve got band aids on my heels

Because I find that I’ve walked

This road of life

Until my feet are bleeding

 

Let me tell you something about

                                Soul mates

 

They don’t always have the eyes you imagined

In your sleep

Knee deep in pools of heavens

And the color of a shattered moon

In reality their eyes are so much more real

 

And they don’t always know the curves

Of your ethereal midnight

You’ve never be able to grasp

And they won’t always be someone you’ve known

            forever

 

No.

Sometimes soul mates are found

In the particles of dirt you left on muddy shoes

On the banks of a lake

That drenched your naked body

In a black sheet with small cut outs

 

                                Where stars should be

 

And I know from experience

Sometimes soul mates are

The alliteration of names following you

                Down this ever confusing road of life

We all find ourselves wandering

 

And sometimes they don’t fall in love

At least not the way you’d expect

 

Sometimes they don’t

Make out under moonlight

Or kiss under rain storms

No

 

Sometimes they fall in love

In the way that has them running to your doorstep

When you find yourself in tears

Or lying next to each other

Deep in cosmic thought

 

Minds suspended in some other

           Galaxy

 

I know I didn’t find my soul mate in the traditional

                Platform

She’s got these eyes made of earth

They keep this sky girl

           Grounded

 

And honeybees in her ears

That I like to sing along

           with

And let’s not forget the ink

Splattered on her fingers

 

That begs me to turn our existence

Into a fabled story about sea monsters

And sirens

On

                Canvas

A most beautiful piece indeed !!!
