Soulmate

Orchiolum
Sleight of hand over truth, trust the illusion

breaching the core, embrace confusion

then drift away to a porch in Kentucky

remember self, the days you were lucky

caress the veil of memory's mist

touch the faces you will miss

hear the voices of rooms and chairs

sleep upon feathers above all care

awaken with peace and coffee on the morning

innocence saved for future mournings

awaken again to the haunting whisper

remember the one, the life unfathomed

rest beside the bridge long smoldering.

Progressive, tree hugging, Earth loving, free thinking poet. When I see the Royals I am reminded of a world in need.  View profile

    This poem is like the booming of the tide - peace and powerful silence, overhung by indefinable sadness.

    I am sure that I read this before, but still love the raw emotion of it, and the beauty, and I love the line especially
