Rae Seagull

I am afraid
Someone will steal my treasure
Then I realise they can't
As no one knows
...

You are bewitched
I am enchanted
Your influence upon me is so magical
That I have eyes and ears for no other
...

Why did life turn out the way it did
Why did we make the choices that we did
Why did I stop calling you when I did
Why didn't you seek me harder when you did
...

You have given me so much
In such a short time...
I keep all the precious moments
Of our shared time
...

There's a place in my heart
Where I have you all to myself
I have touched you a million times
I can kiss you
...

Sitting by my window
Looking out at the landscape
I see all the signs of winter-
Bare trees
...

Two souls, close together, yet apart
Feel no distance between them;
For they are in a beautiful unnamed relationship
Though it can be called divine love.
...

As I watch the golden sunset
That marks the end of another day
I feel the promise of a new day
And a new beginning
...

Why dream dreams
Which cannot come true,
Why hope for something that cannot be?
I should learn to face my reality
...

I look at your face as we talk
The face I cannot touch with my hands
I follow the outlines of your features
With my eyes
...

As I walk towards the mirage
I stumble upon an oasis
Just a small patch of green
In the desert of my life
...

I wonder if I'm alive
Or is this Heaven?
A feeling of contentment and peace
Pervades my senses
...

And when this is over
There will be open skies
And free spirits
I do not think
...

We've all been hurt
One way or another
At some time or the other
Physically or mentally
...

Where are the flowers I loved so,
Where did their charm and beauty go?
Where is the moon that once smiled at me,
As I stood under the dark trees?
...

You are not the cloud
That brings us rain
Then passes on to another land...
You are not the breeze
...

When I talk to you
I fall silent
Not because I have nothing to say
But because I am listening
...

You say
You're right next to me
But you're not
Because I don't find your hand when I reach out
...

I thank the good Lord
A million times each day
For the
Insurmountable
...

Oh my darling
I cannot wait to be with you again
Won't you
Hug me
...
