Soul Mate

by gansach

I thought my time for love
 
was past,
 
my soul and my mate's
 
ships that passed
 
in the dark
 
when~out of the blue~
 
you appeared.
 
Disbelieving, I brushed your
 
compliments and attentions
 
aside.
 
What could you possibly
 
see in me?
 
You~young, handsome, winning,
 
witty, full of humor,
 
pursued by several eager
 
young women.
 
Me~older, a mother,
 
generously proportioned,
 
cynical and cautious.
 
But you persisted
 
and
 
changed my whole outlook
 
on life.
 
          Perhaps I am worthy, 
 
            perhaps it's not too late,
 
               perhaps dreams do come true,
 
                  perhaps there are soul mates.
 
       The joy of spending time together,
 
         the joy of thoughts of you when apart,
 
          the joy of knowing you care for me,
 
                                about me,
 
            the joy you bring my oft-broken heart .
 
But Time and tide wait for no man
 
or woman~
 
we were a generation apart,
 
too many obstacles in the way,
 
too many censorious eyes
 
turned in our direction.
 
It could not be~
 
but to know you exist,
 
to know you're the yin to my yang,
 
to know you're the match
 
to my fire . . .
 
is enough!
 
For we must meet again
 
in another lifetime,
 
another place
 
when the time will be right,
 
                          and then . . .
