Hand in hand our shadows collide like velvet on those dunes,

Moonlight protecting our undefined love, so fragile,
Our ancient hearts locked in eternity,
Overwhelmed to keep some of my sanity,
We will forever be bound and that is a relief,
At last I can make peace, as I grow beyond belief.

Remembering that day when our eyes met,
And I instantly knew, it was all set,
Souls living so close yet so apart,
It all had to end when it was meant to start,
Chained in thoughts and lovely memories,
Such precious feelings to make all those stories.

Each of us living a life of circumstance,
Yet, knowing when our minds touch,
Our hearts and souls entwine with love, and
We see each other in each others eyes, and
Our pain becomes simple sighs.

A reflection of you as I look in the mirror, and
I know how much I missed you,
A memory locked in my heart, and
Forever will remain,
Those lovely souls that dance,
Painting their shadows in the sand.

Dedicated to those beautiful souls who know how to dance and celebrate love, this song really complements my post.

Catch and Release-by Matt Simons

Looking at my reflection while I sit by the shore,
A stream of sunshine grabs my attention as it lusters on the surface,

And I get a glimpse;
Of that time when I was the happiest girl in the crowd,
Determined to celebrate my life, my new home,
I wanted to welcome the New Year with all that is light,
That night I decided the theme will be all white,

Embraced by my lovely pearls, surrounded by beauty and electrifying joy,
That evening, I was queen, I ruled the night, I guarded the shadows spreading my love,
I wanted my heartbeat to echo into the night and celebrate the woman, I so proudly became.
That night I set my intentions to the universe,
I sent my gratitude with the wind to every corner of the world,

Suddenly;
A wave splashes and droplets touch my face,
I shrug my shoulders,
Feelings of sadness takeover,
The dream that I had built over night,
That special celebration I marvelled,
That smile engraved in my face,
That heart beat I echoed,
Those lovely pearls I adored,
The sweet perfume of the evening,
That New Year I longed to enjoy,
The dance that obeyed my steps,
The queen got stabbed by the dark
and took a piece of my heart.
That woman was cursed by the night.

So I decided…
Those pearls that I so dearly wore,
Will be the story of my last post.

Until, a voice from my past sent me waves of love,

And reminded me that…
Pearls live on after growing from a grain of sand,
Unlike humans, they are timeless.

I looked up and…
A magical breeze whispers,
Promises of colourful music,
Passionate words to design my poems,
Love to overshadow the dark,
Sending me rose petals to kill that curse.

The next time I get adorned by my precious pearls,
Will be to rise up again and fearlessly,
Honour my eternal fantasy.

Note to self: when hours seem like years…when years become long lost…when youth never mattered…when the vicious circle never broke…do you give up or give in? So ironical isn’t it? 

Not so long ago, seems like a place so far away
We were us and time seemed to be eternal

  
Once upon a time, our laughs, our joy echoed so high that the clouds fled fast to make way for the sun

  
Once upon a time, love had a different meaning, it felt so beautiful, so liberating, today it is just an illusion

 Once upon a time our whispers were so gentle that the spring breeze was jealous, our thoughts collided in unity, our pain eased when we shared

   
Once upon a time, our smiles were so genuine that our hearts danced with delight

 Once upon a time we were not afraid to speak our minds and share our love, today we only dare hide behind the masked truth, this life of denial oh so painful, oh so limiting, oh it is slowly stealing my life breath after breath…

  
Once upon a time, life was all smiles, joy and adventure

Once upon a time was a gift, stolen today leaving behind fading memories and hope that seems so far away. 

Once upon a time.
