You only exist
In my precious book of
dreams
But you seem so real

INSEPARABLE ONCE # 1
We were once inseparable
Soul mates incarnate
Held by an eternal bond
As strong as tungsten
Yet soft as pure silk
I thought our union
Would last for ever
Even to the end of eternity
But the bonds that held us
Have disappeared
Like tears in the rain
We had it all, in our grasp
We could see it, feel it, touch it
Something steadfast and solid
Reassuring and comforting
A constant, a given
Something infinite and immeasurable
We had it all in our hands
A living breathing thing
That we gave life
Our own creation, our new entity
But we let it escape from our grasp
Slowly slipping through our fingers
Though we tried to recapture it
It was illusive, like trying to net smoke
It evaded our efforts
So now it's gone, and nothing remains,
Of that entity that was us
Nothing tangible, nothing physical
Only memories remain
INSEPARABLE ONCE # 2
We were once inseparable
Tied with the bonds of love
But when the day came
When bonds become restraints
Love melted into the ether
And the ties that bound
Turned inexorably to dust
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?
The years are passing me by
And another relationship has failed
What is wrong with me?
Why has this love affair derailed?
Why can I not hold onto love?
What kind of signal do I transmit?
What makes me so difficult to love?
Why can I not put my finger on it
So, I must move onto pastures new
Looking for the most elusive pray
Wishing for better luck this time
And that I will strike gold one day
Surely it is not too much to ask
That my love be returned in kind
But I won’t give up the search
I’ll keep looking and see what I find
I just have to keep believing
Keep the faith and I will soon see
The next one that I can love
And hope that they will love me
WHERE AND WHEN AND HOW
Where did it go?
That sense of one
The feeling of togetherness
Of mutuality, symbiosis
Thinking each other’s thoughts
A consciousness shared
Breathing in unison
A single beating heart
Speaking in a single voice
When did it happen?
At what point?
Did we separate?
When were we torn asunder
Split like an atom
Dissected like conjoined twins
To breath alone
To stop sharing one heart
And speak for ourselves
How could it be?
When I looked at her with love
A stranger looked back
Independent and solo
Individual and free
Thinking on a different plain
Breathing different air
Heart pulsing with a different beat
Speaking a foreign tongue
