Reincarnate.A Poem by Lydia
Love; They say it’s all you need, But love I’ve achieved And still there’s something Hanging over my head underneath A dead end that still lingers lonely, Calling my name to find it And hold it and make it real. You call out for me, Bringing a lost girl to reality, While another voice calls me back To a haunted past, a forgotten path I never took. Everything I see reminds me of things Of two years before the Sunday I saw your smiling face. I kissed you like I’ve never kissed before, Restoring the innocence That wasn’t previously there. And as you ran your fingers Through my hair and your eyes and mine Stared into souls we knew before In some past life though some old strife Had torn our spirits apart from the one it once was, As you held my hand, and spoke the words I walked the line, I closed my eyes, I died. I took my final breath, The air escaped my chest, And, the next kiss, The next touch of otherworldly lips Breathed life back again: The end of the beginning That just began. © 2008 Lydia |
