A Heart’s Calling.

New lover, I will not ask much of you.

Maybe for your arms

to hold me through nights,

when my love can no longer hold itself inside.

In mornings

when only your lips

will do to kiss my fears away.

Let us borrow an ounce

of self-awareness for a small time.

Perhaps, so we can measure

the fine lines and freckles

of our new found love.

You, this, us, we…

Ah, and what is this?

This here, look what I have found!

Why, our love affair

has been, for eons before

this plane of existence

became a perception of our senses.

Renewed cells,

originating from the same fiber,

in what was some reach of the universe.

Even if light years away,

I would travel all the molecular skies again.

But only, and honestly,

if it could lead us to this very moment.

You smile and I know.

My heart pounds with anticipation.

My breath trembles,

I must breathe a language

only my atoms remember.

Soft quivers singing

lullabies to my heart.

Be still for a moment.

I listen closely.

I hear your heart beat

above all the background noise.

A song I have longed to hear for centuries.

Oh, do you remember

when you were he and I was she,

how we waltzed

across the ballroom floor!

That time when you were sad,

I talked you down and we loved ever more.

Or when you were her and I was him,

a princess I did woo.

It’s all the same and now again

here we are with smiles upon our faces.

A memory of what was, imprinted in our ever after.

Assured at our first interaction.

It was the truth of the galaxies

that has led us here.

Endless hours spent in conversation,

catching up on decades apart.

Laughing as lovers before.

I’ve loved you forever is all I know.

The delicate balance between

the sun and the moon

is the same song and dance

we play between sheets.

When love has no words left

to describe itself

my empty paper folds up

and flies away.

Two hearts racing together.

Flowing, beating, a rhythmic drum

that my ancestors ingrained deep inside.

Calling out to me.

Boom ba boom boom.

Boom ba boom boom.

Boom ba boom boom.

Beats as smooth

as the sailings of paper planes

our wordless love

has cast its spell upon,

gliding in the breezes we made in loves hast.

I hurry to love you

but only because I’ve missed you so.

How my heart has ached for you.

How my fingers

have longed to trace

the outline of your face.

To know what makes you laugh.

To know what comforts

your traveling heart.

What was old is new again.

Seeing the same

familiarity in your eyes.

Something I once knew

but couldn’t seem to remember.

This may be our last journey.

Our last dance as lovers,

our last chance at holding each other tight

on beaches under stars.

We have met in this way,

at this time,

at this place.

For maybe no other reason

than to give some of what we couldn’t

in lifetimes before.

When we part,

sweet romantic lover,

when we are dried up and gone.

When we are ash and dust,

I will find you again.

I will go back to the beginning

and grow my soul right next to yours.

Somewhere inside we know

the sound of a hearts calling,

even if found with continents

between us and in improbable circumstances.

We will find a way,

the best way,

the worst way,

perhaps the only way,

to answer true love

like we have so many times before.

I’ve loved you forever is all I know.
