LOVE Poem: To My Soulmate, by Eva Seidou

I dance every day with the memory of you,
it circles around me, tugging my heart to dance along.
Steps on our tiptoes, my dear,
we flew.
Flew away from the acrid air
I was doomed to breathe without you,
away from the horrid sight
of the world that lacked you,
away from the unforgiving earth
that entraped you.
We escape through the ether of the cosmos,
skipping by the judging pass of time,
turning away from the glow of stars
and the slow waltz of planets.
At last, I see you clearly, after so long.
I speak of how I’d missed you
as I run my fingers through your hair.
You engulf me in the starlight
of yourself and love me.
As you always did,
as you always had,
as you always will.
Fear is shrugged away.
It’s a freezing cold forgotten
in the splendid warmth of you.
I know now our souls were promised.
Promised to each other
in a deal unbroken
by law, by nature,
by force, by time.
