SOUL-DEEP

I once knew a love that was soul-deep…

One that enveloped us in the fire in our chest

As time clicked into place

And the world around us fell away.

I remember those eyes and how they once fell upon me lifetimes ago.

Hello… again

You’ve found me finally.

We let the night listen to the music we created. 

Our souls danced above us 

And they continued to dance

To the rhythm of our hearts

Until one day our record stopped spinning...

Now, gone are the days I get lost in those familiar eyes.

And in an instant, our reality became a distant memory.

Where the clarity in your smile once shone,

A blurred portrait of who we were now wavers in its place

Soul-deep to strangers.
