Worlds Collide

Happiness kept

at bay by

locations separate.

Bliss & pain

one in the same

but held apart

by a sanctuary

invaded by her beauty.

Now, what was

once two

has become one.

My solitude shattered

by a presence perfect

& fleeting but remaining

in memory.

A shock to the system

were it not promised

otherwise.

Lasers dance among

the stars and paint

pictures of

hearts

flowers

love.

She, beside me

completes my life.

Together we float

above the cradle of humanity,

its blue oceans reflect

hopes and fears

shared and lost

and I trapped

alone on this

terrestrial sphere

where apart and isolated

I cry.

Songs sing sounds

of feelings hidden

and obvious but

where respect & promises

before personal happiness go.

Electrons prance &

music swells

the senses, sweeping

us into a world unknown

and yet

all this wonder pales

to a simple look

into her eyes

where worlds collide.

Miracles and wonder

at every turn in

an information age

and yet to be her lesser half

would I gladly give all I have

and dwell only among

the caves with stars above

and she

at my side.
