Yet

Lips eternally untouched
yet
my heart aches
from missing your voice,
that wise yet youthful voice,
my energy source for the day
that brings me to life in ways
I’d only dreamt about

Only once
did your hand reach for mine
when no eyes were upon us
the most exhilarated high known to my body
is but a distant memory locked in my heart
A mere five seconds
eager to be relived
yet
I’ll follow
where you lead us
for the next seven lifetimes

More distance
apart
than time spent
together
yet
I spent my whole life
looking for you
in twenty nations
near and far
sometimes twice

My long, lost love
Alas I have found you
Too late
yet 

just in time

Such cruel fate to play on two pure hearts
that yearn to beat as one
in unison
with the rhythms of the earth
and
her mother,
the universe

So far, far, far away

divided by many oceans and lands
interwoven
across mountains after mountains
yet
in my heart
there you live
a time travel vortex of pure love
as if you couldn’t get any closer
closer than anyone has ever come
so close that we have merged as one
yet 

almost as close as me and God

What immortal love is this
that transcends earthly sensations
and across lifetimes?

Tell me,
which part of me
begins
where you end?
