A Turn of Time
Parallel Universes
From an orb far and new,
In the dawn you come to me
With a vibe as pure as dew.
I cast my hand into the air
And feel the lure of you.
*
You rush in to fill my view,
Are you even real?
Yet, when my eyes meet your gaze,
I know it all is true:
You are here upon my land
And in my span of time
Yet, you do not know if I am real
Or that you have gone past a line.
*
You bend my mind and make it spin
With all that is so rare, so new.
Your gaze is deep and long,
Your vibe is firm and true
They have no end.
You feel it, too -
The lure of love runs as if on cue.
I want it all but just with you.
*
Yet, it will not be
For time will clip, you see,
How long you get to stay with me.
*
In the tick of a beat,
You are gone.
I feel my orb move hard
In the core of me.
Like sand, it all does
Slip into a void.
You are but an echo,
A sad cry from my lips.
Love once felt not long ago
Is here no more with me.
*
I vow I will look for you
Amid the sun and moon
To find you and feel our love anew.
I see now that life upon two orbs
Can hold a love most rare, felt by few.
*
But as I sit solo on this morn,
The spin of time
Will take hold
To defy the tale of love we wove
Amid the orbs of two.
Sad, but we will not ever know
The gift of love that once was ours and true.
