Another Life

~~~~

The lines on your face

As your lips curved to a smile

The glimmer in your eyes

As you thoughts turned guile

I had a weakness for

...In another life

The warmth of your spirit

As our bodies touched

Kisses so tender

As I our souls clutched

I hungered for

...In another life

Singing sweet songs

As the earth went around the sun

Whispering softly dreams

As about the earth, the moon spun

I pined for

...In another life

The games we played

As we gambled our existence away

The rebellion the missions

As we joined the fray

I feared I feared so

...In another life

The haste the arrogance

As life served lemons bitter

The pain the hardship

As we fought for love sweeter

I loathed but I prayed

...In another life

The tears the soreness

As the battles drew to an end

The sighs the relief's

As the shoulders were free to lend

Goodbyes farewells

..In another life

To greet and wish well

As ourselves wiser and older

Not to wonder or lose sleep

As you drift away further

To think I was in love.. love so

But it was ...In another life

[Sami Khalil]

I felt the touching sadness and the overwhelming desires. Another life is anticipated tremendously in this poem with glimmers of hope.

[Aethereal]

This would be the ultimate tribute to someone whom you dearly love. It inspired me to write a little gift song-poem of you own using many of your words which you may do with as you like. Every line is in 0/1/0/1/0/1 six syllable meter to make it sing: I placed it in the present tense, and made it into a proposal. Sing along:

Proposal

Those curved lines on your face
when your lips form a smile,
that glimmer in your eyes
as you hide all your guile

in every time and place
would bring me to my knees
in lives that came before.
So darling, darling please
be mine forevermore.
