Not Wanting to Understand

Settling in the land of wandering

Life is more than I can bare

Not asking if this is fair

Knowing this has a greater meaning

                     &

Its purpose may or not want to complete me…

I want you ALL to know all of me,

So I do not build tents for shelter

But you have to come find me.

Showing my true colors and disassembling

The reflectors,

So you may enter my life.

I want to love for nine hundred and twelve years

The average life of the patriarchs.

My heart knows that I’ll be long gone before

Nine hundred and twelve,

But my love, words, and spirit will soar and

Speak to those who indeed need uplifting…

I live with compassion, unselfishness, hopes,

Dreams, insecurities, ...everything!

Representing a unity of one soul and two bodies.

It was meant to be.

For my missing rib that I have yet to come across,

I wish you a great journey ‘till the day we re-meet.

Sharing days of everlasting ecstasy...

Not eating off the tree of life,

Not wanting to be immortalized,

Not wanting to know all…

For all and our lives will be ruined,

Living without meaning...

Oh that ragged journey to find out missing half...It's a rocky one some times filled with dips and turns and reflections and mirages that look like the real thing. I love that you use biblical references here to describe a long lasting relationship that speaks so much of your faith...and so she will come. And she'll be perfect for you dear Adam or maybe Seth or Noah would be better...since they did not partake of the forbidden..or so we are led to believe.

[JainieJane]

Not eating off the tree of life,
Not wanting to be immortalized,
Not wanting to know all…

I like that, thats how I feel, sometimes I wish for the life that God intended, if Adam and Eve never at from the tree of good and evil...

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Jane, I'm so glad that you did enjoy it!
I too wish I could slap the fruit out of their hands...

Well, according to the Book of Enoch...the human body is designed to live aroun nine hundred years...so who knows?

[sinNsincerity]

Having a soul mate is a blessing my friend. Made me wish I had mine while reading these words. Good write!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you man!

[Rana]

A nice little message you've conveyed through this poem, it's quite inspiring as well. "Settling in the land of wandering" loved how it began, an interesting way to give the idea of the theme on which you are to go on to explore further. Great piece.

Dear David, loved the concept of soul mates and the way you expressed your desire to love for a long long time.
But my love, words, and spirit will soar and
Speak to those who indeed need uplifting…
These lines are written with such perfection, we all have to go one day sooner or later but what matters is the legacy we leave behind. Fabulous work :)

[sinNsincerity]

Yes very much so! and all I want to do is take someone to the same place poetry takes me, and that's a piece of mind.Thank you so much for reading Nazia!

SweetSin this is one of my favorites from you...life without a mean a lost soul navigating alone..I love the concept of soul mates,

"and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment"

Quote that is my screen cover lol
