Two Lives, One Heart

This poem was inspired by my soulmate, who I met in this lifetime thirteen years ago. But who I know I have shared many lifetimes with before and will share many lifetimes to come.


I have heard it said
for everyone there is another.
Halves in search of the other
Fulfilling the need of being whole.
Many search, unending is their quest.
For in the grand scheme
How easily two lives can be lost.
Two lives
Longing , in search of the other
For a moment is all we have to touch the other
For one soul to dare sense the heart of the other
One moment, If lost
only fate may beget another chance.

Two hearts aching for the caress
to quiet the beating of their pain
The touch of the soul that is theirs
The touch of peace and love
Reserved for the joining of the special two.
Two hearts entwined together
synchronized to the beating of time.

Two souls adrift in time
Two lives lost in a lifetime
In a moment their hearts join

Two lives … One heart.
