Falling in love, after the first heart break, isnt easy |
The second blush of love Is more careful than the first Searching for that rare soulmate Knowing that hurt lives round the corner And isn’t worth provoking But also that pain Often precedes the joy we cherish For the second blush of love Knows that attraction purely physical Takes you only so far And as the sated haze lifts The emptiness isn’t worth living with And so the unconscious search for companionship begins That’s not asking too much, or is it? And sometimes companions we do find Friends, mentors, guides and guardians Who enrich our soul And joyful do the journey make Banishing the curse of loneliness But in our quiet moments Returning to yearn, for that elusive soulmate Like a mirage, our mate eludes And like a fantasy, lures back the waiting heart With hope, among a billion people There must be one Whose soul beats in harmony to mine In whose eyes we see the stories of our past merge With love, this life brings That special soul we recognize With every atom vibrating in harmony When found, tender and careful we are Hoping this isn’t a chimera But as real as the energies that joyfully leap Between us every time we connect In this second blush of love To know this truth, makes life worthwhile Even if we are separated by time and tide Or age, culture and marriage Or if this relationship has no future in this life There are many more lives Born across the seas of time, we have found each other In this second blush of love Assuming new avatars each time As mighty priest and priestess Or a humble shepherd and his mate An artist and his muse perhaps Or a magician and his sorceress Our souls have sought each other, in all the lives that were And those yet to come, to join in sacred harmony |
