Forever in a Day...

Forever in a day

 

I had never known what a perfect moment

Could be like – only in my dreams, in my

Imaginings had I felt time really stand still.

 

But there I saw you, standing upon the steps,

A curling fountain sprayed an ancient beauty

From your head – your eyes gazed intently,

 

You were beautiful, in every way; I wanted

To clasp you close and take you down from

The stairs, only so that my wings could take

 

You higher, us higher to a place where a

Perfect moment could last forever.

The moment of our first lips' joining was

 

Tempered by loves' sweet elixir, a

Potion that weaken the souls of all,

Sometimes leading them to danger.

 

But in my arms, you would never feel

Any danger nor the fear of being alone,

For my heart and soul would never let

 

Me leave you to be cold, in this harsh,

Draining and weary world.

I would hold you forever, and hope that

 

My words and wonderings, my dreams

And desires, my purity and passion would

Stop the mundane from crashing through

 

To your soul that was molded in the same

Spark of fire as my own; always I feel

You – and know your depths.

 

Always I'll feel for you, and tell you

My hearts' knowings – of tender chivalry

And gentle romance.

 

There lies beneath a knowing that shall

Never be lost – a connection that will

Survive all the lies of the world.

 

Both of us have suffered the tricks and

Tribulations that gentle souls endure

Before they can share a love so pure.

 

I long to find my youngness again, so that

It might make you too feel young.

 

I long to find my passion again, so that

It might make you too feel passionate.

 

Nothing has mattered more to me in the

Whole history of my world, than the

Quest of love, a love for eternity.

 

In your words I have found my worlds,

And in my world I found your words,

Touching me as they touch you.

 

Our souls yearn underneath for the self-same

Consummation of a rapturous ecstasy, never-ending,

Never-beginning, spanning beyond time.

 

Two tall trees in a forest far away, yet close to

Our hearts stand with their roots intertwined,

Their source the same – their purpose the same.

 

To live in love, to love in life, to heal, and grow,

To learn and to show, to believe and to dream,

To show the whole world what love's gleam

 

Can do to two, and what two can do to more,

To bring a light that not one can bring on their own,

A feeling that goes deeper, far deeper than any bone.

 

In this world, my body is far away, but in my

Soul, you are always right next to me – I ache

For the day we again will be in glee,

 

Laughing at life's stupidities, crying at love's

Beauty, feeling the words of ancient sages,

And forgetting all the rages

 

Of pasts we both knew, but somehow strangely

Together they made us come together anew,

For if we had not been through all that we had,

 

My words and your words would surely not be glad,

For in the night, our souls would have drifted by,

Our lives would never be the same – we wouldn't fly

 

Alongside one another, our deserve'ed future awaits,

When all inside us is healed, I hope it won't be long,

We'll laugh and cry and joy for it is not wrong,

 

For two souls the same, to join together on life's train,

To help the world remember what they already know

To be true – day and night I am here for you.

 

Our first meeting, our first embrace, will remain with

Me forever, and bring an eternal sunshine to my face,

But one thing is true, above all others I say:

 

When we two were in each other's presense,

I learned what it was for a day to last forever,

And to experience forever in a day…

volution - You are the most poetic and beautiful soul I have ever encountered. You belief in the power and depths of love amazes me. Your words are an inspiration and give me hope in a world where so many will go as far as to put down what we are looking for, to say it is impossible and we will only end up hurting ourselves. This poem brought me back to a personal experience, one that will always be with me. It moved me. I hope you are doing well and that love you seek is just around the corner.

Thank you Shysoul - this poem was inspired by another beautiful soul.

I have always believed that great poetry is inspired by great beauty.

In fact, virtually every poem I have ever written was inspired by someone I loved, someone who I beheld great beauty within.

You are right - so utterly few people in this world that feel as deeply as us, and when you find one, you'd be guilty of a great crime if you didn't try and hold on to them with every fibre of your heart and soul...
