Waiting

At the edge of this abyss
Looking down into nothingness
A void of emptiness
Nothing within but echoes
like soughing howls  
of sorrow and regret  
 
Staring down the emptiness
Watching reflections
of the empty beginnings
thousands of yesterdays
and the meandering paths
of thousands of tomorrows
 
I shall traverse those
alone without you
Single faltering footsteps
teetering along precipice  
of deep loneliness  
a miserly existence
 
My heart in Atlantis
With a stranger still
Shedding bitter tears
Yet unable to fulfil
a karmic promise
to a rebirth of souls
 
Treading this existence alone
I wait on the cycle  
of life, lived and done
until I shall refill
the love cup empty now
Until the stranger becomes
a stranger no more
 
A soul-mate never known
A half-self never touched
A love loved, never felt
I wait, I love
To die and to fly once more
back to here
And wait for you, stranger
