Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

I will love you again and again
Time alone will tell
Where love may dwell
In every life
Passion's swell
Will reveal your face
Lightning embrace
Searing pain
Joy
Of recognition.

I'm on a bridge and there's no
Turning back
Nothing to return for
I set it aflame
To cross the seas of doubt
For the dubious honor
Setting foot
On the stagnant shores
Of self sufficient life...
Drowning a whimpering soul
That cries for
Partnership.

What joy it was
Watching the watery floor
Aflame with fire
Of our ignited passion
Sorrow that doused
Regrets...

May my footsteps
Carry me far
Over hills and vales of
This strange despair
A new sun
A new journeying
To life
And life
will bring love
To my doorstep.

Heal love
I heal myself....
With soothing comforting writes...
The pen wringes pain
From porous heart.

In soul translations
Lie
Metamorphosis.
