Rae Seagull

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

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

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
...

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
...

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

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

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

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.
...

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

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
...

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

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

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

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?
...

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

Why does a spiritual love
Need physical contact?
Our souls are intertwined
But have no way of expressing their closeness
...

My heart leaps with joy
Whenever I meet you
And so does yours
I can tell...
...
