Imperfectus (L)

 

Foundation.

If the concept of having a soulmate is true, could you have previously met one and not known?

But upon deep introspection, still seek their reflection?

Title:
Imperfectus (L)

(A lone voice whispers)

There's an unfinished part of me
Hidden away deep

Way into my dark compartmentalization zone

That sees a broken heart
Whenever I dream

Sitting alone
By a fast flowing fountain
All on her own

Over the blue oceans and snow capped mountains

Now that we are apart and each one of us
Silently cries

Lost in a world wind of painful emotions

As strange circumstances
Dance in a swirling frenzy

Mirroring The Red Death, like in a crazy surreal scene

From Shakespeare's Macbeth.

But to have known her love
To have briefly felt and tasted its transcendental magic

Like a touch of expensive velvet

And dwelt somewhere deep inside her, I feel truly blessed

For I now know she was the one

So here's my only tragic message to The Almighty

My soul's,
Alpha and Omega Prayer

The next time around
Lord
Bring me closer to my true love.

My soulmate and unfinished business
Just somewhere

So we can restart
Hand in hand
Together

And no longer suffer
The internal agonies
Of twin broken hearts

So we can be bound together forever
In poetry and soul music

Whatever the weather

As each other
Is finally

In the flesh
Found

This I call to the Lord
My Almighty
Nightly

For without her love
This hard life been constantly reborn looking

Is so confusing

And that's why I pray every night
Reminiscing about those beautiful days

Whenever I listen to Kenny Rogers
Coward of the County

Which takes me back to the 1980s

When I first met her
All dressed in blue

In Caesars Palace

When she briefly stepped into my view
As we queued

And said

“Something deep inside
Tells me

I'm sure
I know you

But this time around
Don't leave my heart used or bruised.”
