Chagrined

Two Souls

The depths of the ocean know nothing of my heart


The sands of the desert will not release any coaxed secrets for eternity


Deep and darkened places of the forest will always stay silent as long as there is no one to hear the echoes of days long past


The shadows that chase away the heat of the day on the mortared walls will search endlessly, but never dwell as one with the light


Two souls separated by miles, but longing for the other\'s embrace can only imagine 


His heart dying in decay is only replenished by her dark and enchanted words spoken from across the sea


Her soul and mind feed and nurture the only part of him she will ever join with


The sun careens across the sky in fast motion day after day.  The lines of our faces etch deeper as the miracle and sad reality of existence draws closer


The only thing that truly matters is that we loved
