Soulmate Poem by Anuj Tikku

Soul mate
I wasted away my youth
In shadowy bars, pool joints, café'& booths
On the street corners, beaches and hotel rooms
Watching through windows heads roll by
Searching for my soul mate
I fell in love now and again
Some it lasted for long some for less
Yet unfull filled I was left
They were not bad the lovers I had
But none complete
They always left me behind
To sit and mope on what could have been
And then alas the heavens opened
You arrived into life
Causing my heart to flutter
My sweet my lily my rose
As my true love you appeared
My dear my date
My only soul mate
Like the goodness of the morning dew
It was since eternity that I knew you
