My Soulmate, My Friend

"Everything you can imagine is real."

The first time I saw you cry..and instinctively I reached out
to hug you...to dry your eye
The things we did to benefit our future
and to be like those who we thought were truly happy
We created our own War Room long before the movie could describe prayer
or make us sigh & cry....
before we realized parts of us must die
I didn't start to do things different to impress you;
it was the deepest part of me trying to mentally address you
saying "hey, we think alike"
Inside, we look just alike
You are my sister from the Best Father
We got our nurturing from a Blessed mother

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

Not one day or night shared was wasted
We taught each other

'You can't change what you can't confront. '

We gleamed from each other
We defied odds
We laughed like clowns
We held each other down
and when one of us was gone,
it wasn't too far away

"Everything changes; nothing dies."

We discovered every type of love
dropped on us from above

"The most important thing that you can do on this planet -
elevate, transform and illumine your own consciousness."

We never needed permission to be
We just lived in the lap
of life's learning luxury
We are real
We are nailed
We opened a door
We linked
as soulmates
We exited with a creed...

"Work out your own salvation.
Do not depend on others."

The Reality Of It All

The Reality Of It All

Ever had feelings that took over your thoughts
hourly, daily, monthly, year after year...
 wantin to be touched, tickled actually,
tickled inside so hard that you shed a tear
Catching your breath momentarily
as you're wanting to reach fingers so near
to wanting hands that understand fingers like yours...
and feelings like yours
that care as deep as you do
Exploring emotions  that come running
 right back to you
and they ache...activating the ponder...
is she feeling this too

You don't want to own it
You just wanted to row on the boat of love
with both oars in the water
You with one, on one side
and she with the other across from you
peddling for dear life,
peddling for dear love
peddling for dear friendship
(if that's what it came down to)
peddling for ever companionship
unconditional wantings to be there
 for you

  I know it supposed to be feelings
for a husband,
but mine, Lord, are for a wife.
Just to be her ally,
in the ups 'and' downs of life
 A woman about it,
a prayer warrior
when you need to come out with it,
a  partner against the world when you doubt it,
a familiar face to reminisce with
 working out what we dream to be in it
..each one coming true..with the physical you
I love to arrest your real thoughts,
see what you saying,
feel it in every touch..and love it
like that cute couple swaying & playing
How can anyone say you're not what I need? 
If we click so well now 
just give us a chance to connect on the real
Come and give your feelings to me
to the point of it all making us a deal
of loving the spontanaity of it all
You know what--
if you never love me again
if you didn't like me then
I coulda took a no to love
but I still wanted our friendship
your advice, your encouragement
and to deal with what happened if we said no
that first night
Nevertheless...where we would be today
is where you'd be just a blessing
or a lesson....we both learned
