Column of light, co-traveler through time,
I feel you deep under my skin tonight.
The raindrops sang their melancholy plight,
Your absent lips they tortured with delight.
Do you remember that one time
When arm in arm we lay beside each other,
Not long ago, and listened to each other's pulse of life,
I spoke of fleeting moments rushing by,
And you taught me the meaning of eternity?
Your soul's vibration found
Just perfect resonance in mine
And shattered it into a thousand pieces-
I watch them dance to your mysterious tune.
I watch them struggle far from you survive.
They seem so lost and all they try
Is to evoke a faint mirage of your's,
A semblance fair will put them back at ease.
How can my net catch wind that passes by?
It felt its tug, its unrelentless power,
Though now I have to watch it helplessly,
Wave on, and silence falls upon me once again.
I want to catch that butterfly of yours,
Believing that I can enjoy
It's brilliance close to me, unfree,
Confused I struggle with such irony.
The joy we shared in our brief together,
Seemed to defy the laws of time,
A smile, a step, a graceful hand,
A touch of bliss, a kiss of timelessness,
A meditating silhouette, a gentle laugh,
A closeness sweet as symphony -
It fused your dream to my reality.
A sleepless night awash with thoughts of you,
Find contemplating me your mystery.
I think duality had split my soul,
And all that's good and beautiful therein distilled
The universe created you - so when we touch
I feel at once the deepest peace -
A mesmerizing mystery that beckons to explore...
Yet fear I might wake up amissing you.
For such a union, perfect as it seems,
Must stretch the mundane fabric of reality.
So if you are the soul of me and I am your's,
Remember that wherever you will be,
A guarding shadow of my touch will rest in you,
And wipe your tears, And warm your heart.
Whatever purity thereever was in me,
That little boy lost on an alien shore,
Know that from now on it is your's as well,
A guardian angel watching out deep from within,
All just for you...
