In the lower levels of spiritual existence
We once roamed
Alone and lonely
Forlornly
Looking for true love
And all it's mysterious emotional energy
Hidden away
In our empty homes
And like a red rose
Blooming in a garden of thorns
I found you
Like a rare diamond amongst the coal
Blowing your triumphant horn
We danced
Sang and laughed together
And our happiness seemed forever
But Fate
That unseen handler of so many
From The Great In-Between
Intervened
Then you were once more lost
For the ever-expanding sea
From dark shores
Had reached us and you were beached
Somewhere
Between
Where and there
Between us
But
Regret is a grey smoke
I will never breathe
Pain
A tablet of separation
I will never take
For our life
Together though short
Will vibrate
Throughout my eternity
Forever
For memories make a person once broken
Smile filled with happy thoughts
Though unspoken
For pain and regret are always blowing like hungry
Vampiric seeds in the loose winds
Hoping to take root and grow in the garden of sad hearts
Which invite them in
Sadness found in regret and pain
Should be cleansed by remembering
All those happier times
For that's how I remain
Profound
For even though now
My old love and me
Don't share the same
Common ground
Like
Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson
We dance forever
Together
In my deep dreams
