Did I forget to mention,
That I'm offering to tolerate
A broken heart?

Your mystery presents itself
Then fills the shadows with light
And the holes with more ground

Pain is my involvement
I am tortured by your warm intimacy,
Yet, it uncovers my soul and it's potency

The push of the distant connections,
For which it only quickens
As I never want to arrive
 

This poem is dedicated to Wendy aka Blondie
and to all the broken hearted people of the world.

This poem was inspired by Thomas Moore's book "Soul Mates"
