kismet

 
stars cry in whispers
in hush tones they speak to the soul
it is twilight within my being
and I sigh

shadows flicker within
I hear the small utterances of light
willing me to continue on my journey

a shaded path and I spy him
my immortal love
stirring on the night
with deep unrequited dreams

I speak to the keeper of visions
who tells me let it rest
to follow my soul's trajectory

in the nether realm I am guarded
he calls to me in my silence
and stirs my ache

in his need he is resolved
but within his deep want distracted
I keen for the desire not met

focusing on the parallel lines that draw us two
into lingering moments where we touch the ether
breathing into each others kismet
