Unseen world

Everything you see

has its roots

in the unseen world.

The forms may change.

yet the essence

remains the same.

Every wondrous sight

will vanish,

every sweet words will fade.

But do not be disheartened,

the source they come from

is eternal–

growing, branching out,

giving new life

and new joy.

I don’t want you to be me

I’ll always

belong 

to myself

even as many times

as I’ll try to give myself

away

and as many times

as someone else

will try and take it

I’ll always belong

to myself

and you’ll always

belong

to yourself

unions

are not formed

by giving yourself away

but by coming

together

two minds

two hearts

two flames

two contributors

two architects

building

their mad

or sadly sane

worlds

together

I don’t want to be

you

and I don’t want you

to be

me

the beauty

the love

comes from our

acceptance

of each others’

souls
