A Dance of Two Souls

I am afraid of this deep craving within me that tempts me to abandon all caution.

I have tried to avert my heart’s wayward pursuit of you.

I tell myself I need to think rationally and logically.

I have tried to stay in the “right” frame of mind when it comes to you, and perhaps that is the problem.

After all, it is the left part of the brain that presumably uses more analytical thinking.

The left side of my brain is used in 109-degree weather, in the glaring light of the day.

It is used while I contemplate schedule changes and create spreadsheets for my business.

While working, is there really any other choice?

However, the universe has a way of teaching me to strike a balance.

Each and every night, it tells me to let go of the obstacles between me and what my heart wants.

It tells me to unleash all of the yearning within me.

At night, the world is shrouded in mystery and clouded by its shades of gray.

We should not fight against what is natural.

We can all agree that in it, the darkness we were never meant to see.

Since the beginning of time, it has always been that in its vastness, every emotion was meant to be felt.

When the light fades to black, it is here in the reverie of my imagination that I find the freedom and safety to rediscover all that I feel.

Here, I need you, and here, I always find you.

In the magic of this night, there is a deep hunger and thirst that encompasses the air in the space between where you and I stand.

Here we are; fate has played a part in our meeting, but it is destiny that has taken the reins: Our souls will be intertwined, bound by a connection that defies time and space.

Under this cloak of stars with you, sound is absent, and while your hand grazes against mine, it is almost as if time has been suspended.

Wistfully, I wish with all my heart that this were true.

What is absolutely real, though, are the emotions that live within me.

You and I are divided by such a great distance, but still, I am held by this spell that I feel between us.

Alone with you in this vision that I have created, I want nothing more than to stay here under the stars where the air is enchanted and alive with this underlying energy that is encircling our unspoken connection.

There is nothing that I desire more than for you to remember as I do.

Recall with me the fragments of our shared existence, the moments we’ve lived and felt together, that lie deep within the hidden parts of our spirits.

Let me teach you to recall what has been forgotten.

It’s cold, and I only ask for the warmth I remember from the touch of your hand.

Reach for me and rediscover the memories that have slipped away into the shadows.

When I spill these words into the night, do you not hear my voice tremble from the weight of the longing that is between us?

It is a longing that echoes in the depths of my being, a yearning that I know you share.

Your gaze, fierce and unwavering, commands my attention; a spell is cast upon me with the intensity of your look.

“No words are necessary,” you whisper as if our hearts speak a language of their own.

In response, I beg you then, “Please, discover me in the silence. The deeper you delve into my darkness, the more I will awaken.”

The frequency of your thoughts mirrors my own.

Though our bodies have yet to experience the other’s caress, I recognize the essence of your touch from the chapters of our history.

Please understand that this was never a fairy tale; this was another dimension, another time, another life.

I am breathless, for I have been running up the hills of this reality for too long, unknowingly searching for you.

I had not realized what my heart was after until the moment our eyes finally met.

I am sure that you are the one — you are the flame that ignites my spirit, the challenge that beckons me to push past my limits.

Here stands the one with whom I can fight, driving us both to rise, to transform, to become more than we were before.

My soul has a knowing, a truth that resonates deep within.

Your eyes, filled with a yearning, assure me, along with your hands on my skin.

I feel the electric pulse of recognition and a primal need emerge — an awakening of our capacity to love; We are not only breaking through the barriers that separate us, but we are also tearing down the walls that guard our hearts.
