Like a boat upon the sea
Or a train upon its tracks
You're the only path I see
And I know you won't take me back

Its not enough that I love you
Its not enough that I can't breathe
But without you I'm just
A leaf caught in the breeze

No destination
No place in sight
Just coasting along
Hoping you'll see my side

See, I was lonely and confused
Not sure what I was supposed to do
My heart was beaten and bruised
But I guess there is no excuse

I can't go a day without crying
Or a week without pain
As long as you're what I want
I can't quit you like you're *******

Its over now, its done with
I've moved on, I'm on my way
Life holds so much more for me
So forget you, I'm not gonna stay

I've changed, I'm a free woman
Got my hat on straight
On the road to recovery
I don't need an overrated soulmate
Rebel Heart Jul 2016
Wandering this earth all alone

Looking for the one place I could call home

Travelling trough the wards of time

Escaping from what I have become

Running around trough crowded places

One night stands in a far of lands

And all I see are their faces

Is there someone out there hearing me cry

I have changed my mind

Incompatible is what I’m

There is no soulmate out there for me to find

And here I’m back again

At the place where I traded my love for fame

Is it wrong for someone longing to be hold

All I can do is crying tears of shame

Should had loved you without being told

Now I know why I’m on my own

I came back

Just to find

I couldn’t turn back time

This is my curse this is my life

Drowning in a world of pleasure

And walking this path being alone

No soulmate for me to treasure
Dayana Feb 2015
I wrote about you, day and night
You are my moon, you are my sun
I wished for the day when we would finally unite
Like the stars in the galaxy, shining bright
I was dreading the fact that the day might never come
When you wrap me in your arms and tell me it's fine
When you utter those words and protect me for life
My dread was increasing, my hopes were decreasing
I slowly shattered into a deep despair
Losing all senses of a fulfilled life and hope
I thought that the fantasies and dreams in my head are unrealistic and are merely an illusion
But then there you were, my protector, my hero
You grabbed me right at the end of the cliff and held me tight
You reassured and brought my soul back to life
You were my protector, and I was yours
We are now, now and forever, inseparable
For we suffered too long in the absence of one another
Lydia Aug 2018
If you could just stay around me all of the time
that would be great
carry me when I'm feeling like I can't stand anymore,
hold the weight,
prop me up and shower me in confidence when I can't find any of my own
kiss my bruises
and form me into something beautiful
in your eyes I am always magnificent,
I need more of that in my life

maybe I am guilty of needing you too much
I always said I would never let my soul rely on another,
but
with you it's like breathing,
it's just too easy
Daniel Hunt Jan 2015
You are my fire
My titanic ocean
Your Love burns
Right through my
Very soul
Your love can purify me
Make me whole.
The wind of nature
Is like your Love
It's like no other
I've been thinking of
It Encircles me
Dynamically
Breathing upon my heart
Today
That I may inherit it's
Power
And I hear you say
"Come, Fill this vacuum
that your Love
Enslaves me
Cease this emptiness
That fills my soul
Only your love
Can save me
Give me life
Make me whole".
Please speak to
My heart today
Encourage my Love
Please don't delay.
Clear the vagueness
Which impedes me
Come enlighten my
Mind, Body and Soul
And the truth will only
Lead us
To the love that makes
Us whole.....
This is my Soulmate
Gun Boy Sep 2015
I met my soulmate. She didn't.
Someone Feb 2018
Meeting you was Fate,
Knowing you was choice...
Now, you're my soulmate
You're my inner voice

Before I met you, I thought of "soulmate"
As someone you love and there are no places for hate
But , now I realized that soulmate isnt just a word..
Its a state Where none of your voices are left unheard

Where your understanding gets deeper than then your own esteem
When your feelings gets clearer than any clear stream
When you know, that you know each other better than anyone else.
When you're love increases with the number off cells

To Live without you is eviL,
Don't believe me?Spell it backwards
You're my life, you're my rife,
You are my everything ,I can ever owe
You're the dream, you're the aim
You're the sea of my shore
You're my shine, you're the cloud 9
You're the  metal of my ore
You're my feelings, you're my passion
You're the MAGMA BURNING INSIDE MY CORE

I don't know that how did we get so close,
I realized "close" is yet far..
cause friends like you are embedded in the soul!!!!
Belle Victoria May 2015
I loved you because you were broken
my soul could look at yours and see home

every minute we spend together was like drowing in the ocean
I would sink deeper and deeper and eventually I would choke
but the darkness of the water never botherd me, I liked it
maybe because you were always there with me

in the morning I would look up and see the sunlight
coming through my window, the lights would touch my face
and every single morning when I would open my eyes
the first thing I always think of is you and how much I love you

I wish I could have you near me, like everyday
but we both know that never was a great idea
after a while we would remember how much we are a like
and I would hate you for being that way, you would hate me
maybe that is why you are my soulmate, why I love you

Im looking for parts of myself in the people I love
it gives me comfort knowing there are kids out there who are like me
a little bit mad, a little bit broken, but with golden hearts and voices

I always loved the idea of us being in love forever.
a lovestory about two broken teenagers that would never work out.
brandon nagley Oct 2015
Distant lover's
Both overworrying that the other lover wilt leaveth;
That's me and mine Jane, that's amour', tis were soulmates.

Pyaar jo aapne hume karna sikhaya,
Dil ne har ehsaas ko geet banaya...
Kitne pyaar ke rang chhalkaate hain aap,
Phir bhi pyaar ki wajah poochhte hain aap...

Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,  
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.  
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,  
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,  
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **...  
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.

Aankhon mein sapne sajaaye chale,
Har saans mein mehka hai aapka naam.
Dil ki dhadkan yeh kehne lagi –
Aap ** saath, toh hai subah-o-shaam.

Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,  
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.  
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,  
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,  
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **...  
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.

Aapke bina... yeh zindagi adhoori thi
Pyaar ki manzil mein kitni doori thi.
Dil mein aashiyaana aapne basa kar hume diya hai,
Har lamha pyaar ka... aapne dil mein piro diya hai.

Kabhi khud ko chaahne ke liye... gairon ka pyaar chahiye,
Kabhi dil ki nazdeekiyon ke liye... doori ka ehsaas chahiye.
Kabhi chand lamhe hi kaafi hote hain dilwaalon ke saath,
Ittifaaq se mile **, meherbaan – kabhi na chhodna mera haath.

Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,  
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.  
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,  
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,  
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **...  
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.

Ab itna ab na sochiye, mere jaane-mehboob,
Dekhiye... pyaar kiya, aapne bhi bahut khoob.
Zindagi aapke saath – vaada hai mere humsafar,
Har sawalon ka jawaab diya, humne – aap rahe befikar.

English Translation...


You taught me the art of love so true,
My heart wove every feeling into a song for you.
How vividly you spill the colors of love’s hue,
Yet you ask me why I love you.

With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.

In my eyes, dreams you’ve adorned and spun,
Your name scents every breath I’ve begun.
The heartbeat whispers, soft and clear –
With you near, dawn and dusk are ever dear.

With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.

Without you… life was incomplete, a hollow space,
The path to love stretched far, a distant chase.
You built a home within my heart, gave it grace,
Every moment of love, you’ve strung in its place.
Sometimes, to love oneself, a stranger’s care we seek,
Sometimes, for closeness, distance makes the heart speak.
Sometimes, a fleeting moment with a kind soul is enough,
By chance we met, my gracious one – never let go of my hand, my love.


With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.

Think no more, my cherished love, don’t stray,
Look… you’ve loved me too, in the most beautiful way.
Life with you – a promise, my eternal guide,
Every question answered, with you I abide, carefree by your side.
Wild-Youth Aug 2014
I believe that once upon a time we all did have a soul mate.
Then people started ruining it.
7 billion people in this world,
and you have never left your town.
You really think you found your soul mate there?
You didn't.
You settled.
With someone else's soulmate.
So then that persons soulmate had to settle for someone else as well.
And took another persons soulmate.
See a pattern?
People don't believe in soul mates until they find them.
I promise you won't find them in a town of 300 people.
Get out and live your life.
Explore the world.
Find who you are meant to be with.
Stop settling with someone that you love.
You can love anyone.
Find the one that you are in love with.
There's a big difference.
dear soulmate, please hurry up
how many men have to ruin my makeup,
until you finally find your way to me,
so that I can be free?

free of suffering, free of heartbreaks
tell me how many days it takes

or is it years?
a billion tears?

dear soulmate, please hurry up
how many times do I have to stand up,
after falling to the ground,
where my heart full of scars has been found?

dear soulmate, please hurry
for I, no longer have to worry

my desire is to heal
so tell me, how many weeks does it take until you reveal,
until you show your true face to me,
so that we both can be free?

and how much time will I spend,
waiting for amor to send
an emotion that is true,
so I can live forever loving you?

apparently it's not even crossword! the tagging, the aghast timing, but you didn't care about me, so why, should you be treated as Aleppo? why?! join the queue and please... shut, the ****, up! you didn't care about me... you think i'll care about you? no. no! hashtag that if you please; oh sorry, the world is cruel, hence the Arctic and Prince Harry: chequer or the check check chequers or simply Croat checkered math and the chess board... nonetheless: #likeigiveashithaha*

Touch of insomnia
It's nearly 3 am
Sleeps not getting any closer
And I havent got a friend

There no one waiting for my calls
Just bad dreams of **** school halls

Retreat to the safety of a computer screen
Watch the little lights on the modem blink green
Boot up log in, disappear to hide from alone
Drown feeling in pixels all identical

Every site another chorus of broken hearts
To much like real life
Again I'm fleeing my own thoughts
Scared to listen

Instead, wandering down a long list of user names
(6-6) in every room I pass

Near the bottom and close to the end
Stopping, eyes catching
(1-6) all alone

Breath held, hand shaking
Feeling stupid, there's no risk I'm taking

Computer screens can't see who sits on this side
Maybe though.. they're alone too and I wont have to hide

You're two spaces from me
As my game starts, we sit silently

Cursor blinking slowly in the little text box
Fear creeping up my neck

Question hanging, to say something or just hold back
Took just a second, only three keys to press

"Hi", started it all and I'll never go back
From what if's and maybe's
To being your baby

It's been so long together, that we cant be apart
My soulmate...
I cant believe we met on a puzzle board
Alyssa Apr 2015
you've always been my
favorite book
never difficult to pick from the shelf
and breeze through.
I have read you
over
and over
one thousand times
and I find things
with each and every read
that I never discovered
in the last.
all of the genres
combined within you;
mystery,
romance,
comedy;
an endless movie
running through my head
with you as the lead role
and I couldn't imagine a life
without you being written
into it.

reading never came as a challenge for me,
maybe that's why loving you will be so easy
evelin avely Feb 2019
Has anyone ever told you
that you are the most endearing person
in human existence?
Because I think you are.

With your sacred motion
that spreads along my lungs,
with your pretty laughter during
an evident silence.

Haphazard glances at vivid rays,
and your verdant eyes stare  
straight at me, and I feel blue.
I try to hide my
lasting grief and fickle spirits,
I cherish you in many ways.

I keep in mind eternal summer,
eternal bliss, eternal souls,
and our names that changed.

The story's blessed by future prays,
you, my pal, and I
are waiting.
actually written a few years ago and drunkenly read to a person who might have not appreciated it as much as i hoped. but what can you do.
I'm clingy, but I'll never admit it. I'll check my phone every 5 minutes to see if you've replied to something I've drafted numerous times in my head. I'll get anxious when you don't answer me back for a long time, and I'll think to myself maybe you've had enough of me. Yet when your message finally comes, it doesn't matter what you've said because the simple act of replying assures me that you're still mine. At least, for the time being it will. I'll get jealous a lot, but please don't misconstrue it as me tying you down. I won't get jealous because I want you all to myself, no. I want you to be able to spend time with your family, friends, and everyone else in between. I'll get jealous because maybe, just maybe, you'll find something special in someone else, as you did with me. I'll be weary that maybe you'll look at someone just as how you look at me, or your heart will begin to wander somewhere else.
I'm insecure, and it's of no fault of your own. When I say something negative about myself, it's not a cry for attention nor is it me wanting you to disagree with me. Before you, I'll probably never imagine in a million years that you'd be mine. So by virtue of the fact that we're together makes me even more insecure. But let me make something clear; I won't be bagging on myself all the time. I know what I excel in, what talents I possess, the aspects in my physique that work in my favor, and so on. I'm just more vocal about the things which fall in the opposite categories. I'll possess many faults, and I'm not looking for you to fix them. I think when I finally meet you, I'll be more accepting of these faults than I am now. All I'm asking is that you accept them with me.
I know this letter seems to be focusing on the negative things about me, and it's quite a bit to take in... so let me make a change of pace.
I'll always love you. When we're finally acquainted, and we finally begin to personify the definition of love for one another, I'll never need another definition. I've told myself countless times that I would never cheat on someone because I know what that feels like. I'll love you more than I love myself and I know that isn't too great but that's just how I am. I'm going to fall in love with the way your smile dances across your face every time you see me, I'll fall in love with the way you lose yourself int he things you love, I'll fall in love with the way your voice fluctuates depending on how you're feeling, I'll fall in love with the way you say my name, and I'll most definitely fall in love with you so much more. I'll study everything about you, I'll remember the slightest details about you and your life. I'll know what you look like when you're upset without having to say a word, I'll know how you like your coffee in the morning, I'll know exactly how long it takes you to get ready before we go out, I'll know most of the trivial things about you and the rest I'll learn along the way. I pray you'll be able to do the same as well.
If you're still reading, and you haven't run away... I'll probably be sitting across from you looking insanely nervous and insecure. I'd be sitting with my legs folded under me on the chair anxiously waiting for your reaction. On top of that, I'll probably be ready to burst into tears of happiness or tears of sadness.
So to end this letter, I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for giving me a reason to live again, thank you for proving to me that love really is meant for me, and thank you for being my reason to be alive.

Love,
*Your Future Soulmate
Favorite poem. Written by my favorite person. Heaven Dawn.

With beating wings
I follow you
A thousand years behind
I hear your cries
Of all the lies
We've been told to beileve
And though we know
The lies they sow
We still begin to see
That there is truth in everything
From love to hate to stars to pain
We beileve we're all alone
And that there is no room for home
I follow you
And all the steps
You've had to leave behind
You wished to take them with you
But you chose to choose your mind
I wished to keep
My steps with me
And now my mind is rot
I hate myself
And all my friends
For seeking what we sought
The steps I took
I place them down
Just one at a time
To find my way back
When I have you
And you're finally mine
With beating wings
I follow you
A thousand years behind
I hear your cries
Of all the lies
That say you've lost your home
And though you know
The lies they sow
You still begin to see
That there us truth in everything
From heart to soul
To eagle's wings
In everything, from love to hate
That a thousand years behind
Is your soul mate
Awnaeji Feb 17
No need for words, the heart can see,
A mirrored depth, where spirits be.
A knowing glance, a silent hum,
Two souls entwined, as one they've come.

Where in this world, of fleeting things,
Soulmate love, forever sings.
A pure connection, thru thick and thin
My platonic soulmate , were not meant to be.
This poem explores a deep, wordless connection between two souls a bond that transcends time and circumstance. It celebrates a pure, enduring platonic love, even when romantic paths don’t align.

to know he is my soulmate
is the same as to know
that the grass under my feet is green
September Dec 2011
You came, you saw, you conquered.

Ripped my flesh off to reveal my internals.
Walked out wordless;
     left me to wonder...

What   just   happened?


Your memory is a stale reminder of how I will never find another
     just quite you.

We were two halves of a broken heart,
but our torn and serrated edges willed us not to connect.

When you left, it
was tough.
     Is tough.
My soul
My soul is the most beautiful thing on paper
My soul wants a lover
My soul wants a lover I don’t have to ****
Jesus Christ, I don’t want to ****

My soulmate
My soulmate is not here on paper
My soulmate is not a lover I have to ****
Jesus Christ, get over yourself
I don’t want to ****

My soul, baby child
Does not want to **** your lover
My soul, man
Is not your cadaver to touch
Is not your cadaver to cut

My soul is not here for more lovers to ****
Can I say it any louder?
It is the most beautiful thing on paper!
My soul is in tatters and blown
By all the ***** to ****

Soulmate?
I am glad my soulmate is not here
To see me cry
To crave my ****
My soul is a lover I don’t have to touch

Hey you
My soul is beautiful
Fragile
And ****** enough
Keep your open roses to yourself

Dear soulmate,
I met you once
You were standing
So was I

We talked,
Mostly with our eyes
Not then said I realize

I thought maybe
You said no
So again it was just I

I met you twice
This time sitting
I figured this time friends

Friends we were
Time came along
And as it does made me realize

I've loved you along.

Its to bad time skews
And separates
Those that maybe are meant to be

Its a complicated world
But maybe I'll see you
A third time around

And know I've loved you along.
I miss you.
..

When I touch my bed,
Lights go off,
My heart starts beating,
My mind stops working,
My eyes doesn't close,
Still I dream,
I dream of you...!

When loneliness covers me,
When darkness surrounds me,
The silence of night around me,
The sound of insects chirping aloud,
In this silence my heart speaks aloud,
Your name it shouts,
for you it calls...!

When I start to sleep,
My eyes start to rain,

I just keep thinking how CLOSE we were,
I just keep thinking how FAR we are,
Yet I believe one day we will meet
And in that meet eternal bliss will be  till eternity...!

Dreams are something I live on,
With open eyes I dream of you,
Thoughts betray me,
Love kills me,
Distance destroy me,
Rules bind me,
Loving you is the best thing ever happened to me,
To be loved by you would have been divine...!

Wait is what is written in my destiny,
Wait is what I will do,
May it be week,
month,
years...
Still,till infinty my eyes won't sleep,
My heart won't stop dreaming,
My thoughts will always have you in them,
And as the night falls,
And the lights goes off,
My head will touch the pillow,
My eyes will flood for no one to see.....!

You are my life,
my soul,
My soulmate,
You are everything I have,
You are everything I want to have,
You made me complete,
You made me woman....
You made me woman madly in love,
My destiny will change to occupy you,
My wait will be fruitful
Sometime,
Someday,
Somewhere,
Some how,
We shall definitely meet.....!

Till then...
Live well..
My soul,
My soulmate..!

People say that
A soulmate is the one,
That thing that makes you feel alive

If true,

I think  I’m in love with coffee ☕️
I just love the way it smells and the way it tastes
For sure we’re meant for each other ;)

Love letter to my soulmate.
by
Jude Kyrie

For so long I have waited.
Waited to see your smile
to hear your voice
to look into your eyes.

I know you are looking for me
for I am the one
who is your destiny.

Let your soul travel
when you sleep my love.
Let it look in the far reaches
of Land sea and space.
Even on the dark side
of the moon.
For I have released my soul
on a quest to find you.

I know when our souls meet
they will know each other
from many lifetimes
And they will dance in the light
filled with joy.

Do not lose faith
that we will find
each other my love.
For we are real.
We exist.
Just as the stars exist
even when they cannot
be seen in the light
of the sun.
to all that are waiting
never give up
Jude

As far from *** as you could imagine, but my love for this art is expressed in this piece
Jackie Aug 2015
Death has always seemed so present in my life
My first love said that death is not something you should be afraid of
What you should be afraid of is someone else taking the place of your soul
Someone else loving the one you gave everything to
She told me that she would never connect with someone the way she connected with me
Because soulmates are not easily found or won
Death seemed to love her more than I did
Death fought for her before I even gave up
Death was her true soulmate
I think about death the way I think about love
It is natural
Unexpected
Love has a way of shielding you from all the pain that life brings
And gives you a soft place to land
She told me that death called out to her when she spent every night crying
The only thing that stopped death was love
She told me that I stopped death
I only stopped it for as long as I could hold it off
Until love wasn't enough to pay it off
She needed something more
Because I was never her true soulmate

i.

A Vintage Alfajor necklace
To veil mine sovereign belle;
Betrothed for heaven's comfort
We hath already been through hell.

ii.

Ourn bygone time
Hath strengthened us for forthcoming rapture;
I'll be right next to her, in her allure
No death, forever, happily ever after.

iii.

I'll tryeth daily, tis none maby's
I'll doeth anything, for mine Filipino baby;
As tis I'll maketh her, forget her past
I'll be her bishop, she shalt be mine eternal hourglass.

iv.

As time goeth fast, I mustn't lose the thought
That tommorrow doth not always cometh, we dieth, get lost;
Though she hath found me, I knoweth what being saved mean's
I wilt liveth every day as mine last, and liveth it for mine queen.

v.

So dearest reyna, soulmate, and best friend
When thou doth readeth this, know ourn love shalt not end;
As we both understandeth, this planet is just a passage to the next
We wilt meeteth in this life, and afterward's, pag-ibig at it's best.

pag-ibig means love Filipino tongue.
A bicycle is the most efficient transportation machine.  A little input and I’m gliding, moving a useful measurable distance but more than that. I like going fast enough so the wind in my ears is louder than my thoughts.  On a tough day I like riding until I can be grateful again; sometimes that takes a couple hours but every ride is a good ride.

My youth’s independence was a banana seat Huffy pulled from an under-appreciated pile of rust in the back of St. Vincent’s Thrift Shop.  No school bus meant riding to school, the first 45 minutes of every day in all weather. Afternoons were exploring detours; summers were expeditions to the city limits, sometimes beyond.  I needed an upgrade for high school; I found a spotless antique 3 speed Raleigh, the cultural English workhorse collecting dust in an unlikely garage for $50.

I kept it through two foster homes. The first one kept me busy with farm chores, but the second was back in town. There, I had the bike back, and as an aside, they had a phenomenally sophisticated wall sized sound system: reel-to-reel and amazing headphones. I would forget myself in records: Sgt. Peppers, Genesis, Yes, etc, and another favorite. Just a guitar and piano instrumental album with a simple melody called Bricklayer’s Beautiful Daughter. Something about that one song in particular I heard faint glimmerings of contentment that was denied to me.  I would replay it to cling to this hint of a simple happiness I didn’t understand; that if it was in the song, it was somewhere deep in me.
Without a car for 10 years, one used 10-speed or another got me to various eccentric jobs.  

Fast forward to the life-changer, after a divorce. Needing to reconnect with myself, I searched for a decent bike. I found it hanging dusty in the back of a cluttered boutique shop smelling of tire rubber, quiet with racers’ confidence. They had a Lemond thoroughbred on consignment, assembled custom 5 years earlier to race. It was slightly outdated, but a dent on the top tube put it out to pasture. It was steel though, so rideable enough for me.  My entire $300 savings and it was mine. Then I discovered the special pedals needed special shoes, so another month saving for those.  I wasn’t going to wear those silly spiderman outfits, until I started to ride more than 10 miles and my **** demanded it.  And those pockets in the back of the shirt were handy.  I met a friend who taught me how to draft: my skinny wheel a few inches behind the bike in front at 20 mph, to save precious energy in the slipstream. Truly dangerous, vulnerable, and effectively blinded; but he pointed at the ground with various hand signals to warn of upcoming road hazards. I was touched by this wordless language of trust and camaraderie. This innate concern is essential to the sport, even among competitors, so it seems to attract quality people I liked.  My new life expanded with friends.

I discovered biking exercise could stabilize the life-long effects of brain injury, lost some weight, grew stronger, and started setting goals.  First longer group rides, then a century (100 miles in one ride), then mountain biking: epic fun in nature, unadulterated happiness.  Then novice racing, then the next category up with a team, then a triathlon.  It became an admitted obsession but I won a pair of socks or bike parts every now and then.  Eventually tattooed two bike chains around my ankle, one twisted and the other broken.  I loved the lifestyle, and had truly reinvented and rediscovered myself.

A 500 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles with fellow wounded veterans helped dissipate the old shame from the military.  I had joined the ride to raise money for a good cause.  I respected the program and knew personally that cycling had changed my life.  They turned out to be inspiring, helping me more than I could have helped them.  Some had only just started riding a bike for only a few weeks, some were amputees fit with special-made adapters on regular bikes, some had no legs using hand cycles.  They all joined on to the task of riding 500 miles. No one whined, and helping each other finish the day was the only goal.  While riding with them, I began to open up about my experience.  I found a few others who also had TBI, and we could laugh about similar mishaps.  The other veterans didn’t judge me about anything, like when I was injured, the nature of my disability, how much I did or didn’t accomplish. I had signed up just like them, had to recover back to a functioning life just like them.  It was the first time in my life that whole chapter in my life was accepted; I wasn't odd, and they helped close the shame on that old chapter.  (Thank you, R2R.)  The next year I took a 1500 mile self-supported bike trip through western mountain ranges with my husband and soulmate, whom I had met mt. biking.

There was one late Spring day, finally warm after a long winter, when I just wanted to ride for a few hours by myself.  No speedometer or training intervals, just enjoy the park road winding under the trees. I had downloaded some new music on the IPod, a sampler from the library.  I felt happy.  Life is Good.  Rounding a bend by the river, coasting through sunbeams sparkling the park’s peaceful road, my earphones unexpectedly played Bricklayer’s Beautiful Daughter.  I hadn’t heard that simple guitar tune in three decades.  My God, time suddenly disappeared.  I was right back in the forgotten foster home, listening for the faint silver threads of the contentment I was feeling at this very moment on the bike.  The full force of this sudden connection, the wholeness of the life and unity of myself in one epiphany, brought me to tears. I found myself pouring my heart into praying hang in there, girl, hang in there, you’ll find it and I felt my younger self hearing echoes of birds singing in new green leaves.

oh once upon a time i found a soulmate,
filled my heart, it overflowed, i drowned
so deep to ocean's floor i simply died,
translated to the heavens of the skies,

though years, it was a drop in ocean's depth,
that we would be together in our bond,
against all my beliefs and thoughts it broke,
oh yes, so possible, it truly did,

she changed and fell right through the floor of glass,
past clouds and vanished to the earth below,
so mortified to stone i followed suit
and landed in an open grave closed shut,

to my surprise a new love, moschiach,
did resurrect me from my stateless tomb,
and showed me things i'd missed from my dear love
long past but not forgotten in the mind,

yet she could not accompany me there
upon the clouds in steps rising to sky,
for she was chained to one some distance off,
and she was his, and though our hearts be tuned,

we could not mesh and cleave into one flesh,
yet showed me soulmates are not one for one,
for there must always be another one
somewhere in space and time, like us, like this,

and now standing before my former grave,
with hope for life yet hopeless in my search,
should i climb down and sleep or walk a path?
a path to where? to whom? now death, now life...

and so i wait, eternity if must
be done, somehow, for here alone i can't,
an oddity among the pairing souls,
comprising all that heaven's meaning is

(C)2012, Christos Rigakos
Blank verse
A soul like your own,
So much in common,
Its like your own reflection.
A straight connection all the way to the heart from the mind,
Two souls making one;creating one big unbreakable bond
How beautiful it would be to have a twin in soul,
How wonderful.
Pete Dec 2014
Love or hate
this is not a debate
just believe me you are
my soulmate.
