Diverging Souls
Unchain my heart, you asked me
yet this is not easily done
much like lassoing the moon
once two hearts have begun
The reckoning builds an attachment
not in the way ownership forms
but in a willing stance
captive in each other's essence
colliding as a comet does the atmosphere
What I hold is dear
you shall be in my heart
where ever my journey leads
There are no chains or shackles
you are free to prevail or succumb
My quest is balance in longing
wasn't meant to unchain your heart
free you of the binds that keep you tethered
I am a free spirit, winged and light
like the gypsies I roam
grasping my limitations
incapable of giving more than I have
With you I am a friend above the fray
opening the door of release
from the confines of your cell
Let go the darkness of childhood
I see a new spirit hovering above
awaiting your turn of the key
*tomorrow marks 4 years since my ex gf left this world much too soon. This was my last note to her as I left a year earlier. Her essence is captured well in the photo I snapped enjoying a soak.

A beautiful note Ken, that I imagine touched her heart deeply and stayed there. Life is snatched away and so many things are left unsaid, I know and feel your loss.
A wonderful tribute.

Thank you Magdalena. Tough seeing someone you care for destroy their life but we make choices.

A extraordinary piece and a sexy image, she must have been a very sensual woman, keep that always in your heart when you feel the loss. This was a wonderful tribute to her memory.

a moving piece here Ken. Once someone starts caring about someone more than they care about themselves? ....

soul man
well pardon me for being quick and near-escapist
but this touched a nerve somewhere. heart breaking
the poem was and the back story makes it painful.
however the poet, the artist and the lover in you
warms my heart and inspires me. i see hope. its a good thing.
'My quest is balance in longing '
this was just so beautiful. really.
nothing else, this time i am afraid.
power and light,
sumeet
p.s-i will remember this image fondly now. will make me smile, this image. love galore.:]

Indeed a delight seeing you return to the family, Sumeet. Much alike we are in our gypsy souls. :)
haha, yes a very sensual image of her. Thank you!

This one had so many feelings entwined into an emulsion of sensuality.
I am sorry for your loss, and wish you well.
Thank you for sharing this one, I feel it was deep.
