My Soul Knows You... Poem by Emu Getachew

My Soul Knows You...

Rating: 4.8


Everything carries me to you,
and my soul knows you,
all my life, I've been dancing to your stories,
with you, nights waltz in lucid space,
and the moon becomes seasons.

To kiss you is to watch death at its best,
every part of me goes into stillness,
and then, your breath summons my veins,
to replace my platelets with yours,
slowly everything changes...
Yes, all yesterdays before you.

Dearest Emu - I am honoured to be the first to comment on this elegant love poem. It is ethereal and I score it TE N. VERSE ONE: Describes the power of love between two Soul Mates drawn togeher through words (stories and poems) drawn together acros space and across time. VERSE TWO is more explicit - The petrifying power of his kisses - the feel of his breath on your skin is like a blood transfusion - everything cahnges. You count time form the moment your lips touched - AWESOME. 'Slowly everything changes - Yes all yesterdays before you. Excellent Emu and if you find the right Soul Mate all your longings will be satisfied. Love you in Poetry - JOHN X
