boundless perfection

my cousin and dear friend passed away recently and i am reminded of a poem i wrote when the love of my life passed on some seventeen years ago and i wanted to share it with you

i know that i shall never see

                           the light of day upon your face again

             or hear the joyous sound

                                 of your very laughter

i know that i will never get to touch

                        the softness of your hair against my skin

           or feel the grip of your strong hand upon mine

i feel like a desperate woman

                              my need to see you consuming my whole being

             and yet i know that time will heal the pain

we have spent so many years

                            and all that time i have been your woman

            i know there is a tie that binds us

                              throughout eternity

                                          i knew it the instant that we met

                                                             and that has never changed

many times i thought

                    that i could separate myself from you

                        and the bond grew stronger

          our time apart never makes what we have less

                          but in that realm of thinking

                                               where true freedom lies

                                  our relationship expands and soars

                                                         leaving this mundane existance

                                                                    entering into boundless perfection

                                                                                           and

                                                                                  there we shall meet again

. . .

the best is always yet to come
