Two Souls

We were two souls who, on one cold, dark night
Happened to say "Hi" in the midst of flight.
Who was to know this word would bring
Feelings so strong making my heart sing.

Our souls, they reached out, starting to pull.
They beckoned to each other with the need to be whole.
The calling was loud and so very clear ...
I had to try ... had to get near.

We decided to meet ... to see who we were.
I had to know who this was that made my soul stir.
Who was this woman who shared my soul,
Who shared my emotions, who made me feel whole.

We talked for a while sharing bits of our thoughts.
The emotions kept growing ..... doubts I had not.
It sadly came about, it was time to leave.
I wanted to stay, let our souls interweave.

The ache started building as I yearned to stay..
We reached to each other, one last thing to convey.
We gazed into our eyes then we pulled near ...
A kiss and a hug to alleviate the fear.

I was Blessed with a gift, a gift of gold.
The thought of that moment, in my heart I will hold.
When I have times where my spirit falls,
Where my soul starts to cry, where my heart starts to call ...

When the emptiness fills me and swallows me whole ...
I have a way out, thanks to her soul.
I just close my eyes, imagine her here,
Gazing deep in her eyes in a passionate stare.

My soul starts to fill with a whirlpool of color,
The feelings arise of that first encounter.
My heart races with passion, my mind with desire,
My soul with the longing for her inner fire.

My heart starts to race, my soul all afire,
Taking my spirits higher and higher
My void becomes full, my soul comes alive
And, once again, my life it does thrive.

The emotions that pass through that passionate stare
Are the most intimate feelings that two people could share.
The enrichment she brought to my empty soul
Has, yet again, made me feel whole..

Together forever our souls they will be.
How fortunate I am to have you in me.
Thank you, Jacquie, from my heart and my soul ....
