U.nique S.ouls
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Bringing passion,
from a well at depth inside
Where no touch of fear
nor false sense of pride
Resides.
Sparks glistening like candlelight
Reflecting from tearful eyes.
Moistened lips, softly whispering
a song no one else can hear.
In tears.
Simultaneously from afar
we sing of love unbound
Lifting weary minds
with sad streams of thought
Swept by unfulfilled promises.
Gentle yet painful emotions
bringing joyous cries.
Through the empty space between us
As fresh hope arrives
Settling into quiet places
where only the most treasured of dreams
reside
With nowhere new
left to either run or hide.
(Right back where we started)
Slowing my heartbeat rhythm now.
Pulse, signals in a steady drumbeat.
My soul energies gently effervesce
into my dreams. Gently breathing,
Chest heaving like waves
which rise and fall
Blowing smoke rings
in the cool damp air
Issuing a tattoo
lost in your embrace
Held closely to kiss
a brief reply
To this dilemma we face …
without faltering
Day by day
step by step
side by side
Through these uncharted waters,
we ply
Unafraid of enormous risks …
of uncertainties
Cast gently adrift
with passions gift
like falling rain
One warm summers night
of gentle kisses
On and on we glide
with side effects
Elevate the mood
from imperceptible lows
To spellbinding highs,
building momentum
Trying to find that place within
Where our rhythms naturally coincide.
You and me as the moon and sea
Turning with the tidal flow of the universe
And so, as the sun works its magic
Deep within the burning sands
where we As soulmates born
do more together grow
In ways most meaningful
Becoming ever so much more complete.
Now and then, when finding myself
In the mix Sifting/mixing/blending
As if kneading the dough of yesterdays.
Letting it rise naturally
to be placed in the oven Baked
into the breads of tomorrow
Watched over carefully,
by us
Here and now
Unique
