What longer love has filled my soulLike familiar pathways
From a childhood home
The scent still lingers
The sounds still rush
My skin still reacts to the wind’s gentle touch
As though no barriers were clearly marked
I saw straight through them
With a focused heart
Though I may have paused, I never thought to work out why
For all these years!
What has kept you nigh?
Magnetized, bereft of all control
I sank against your heart
And felt filled in full
Perhaps it’s not my place and yet I linger here
Not knowing what time now holds
Only that I shall always be near
In body, in soul, in hope, in love
Like a hurricane whose purpose
Cannot be judged
What destruction has passed, what beauty has bloomed
It was all destined to be
Impossible to undo
For what longer love has filled my soul
With all you’re unsure of
This is the one thing I know
