ENTANGLEMENT

Seeking with no goal in mind
youth so near and burning hot
finding never who I was
yet found who I was not

Clinging yet so desperately
to find escaping love
having thoughts then buried low
while seeking light above

Rumours followed endlessly
down paths that knew no end
finally found one who too was lost
that I wished to call my friend

So aimlessly we tripped through life
supporting love we thought
would shield us from the truth inside
hoping never to be caught
in desperate need to find the one
with whom life would offer more
and fill my heart with ecstasies
and soothe my aching core

Escaping truth so endlessly
escaping blame as well
holding on to friends with whom
our very souls did sell

Bargaining for peace of mind
when hearts with guilt were plagued
wishing ever truce with God
while my soul did ache
for the love that was not mine
but another's trusted friend
who too like me in life's own rage
would never be again

Left with only broken heart
and spirit scattered tossed
realizing only after many battles
that the war was lost
to powers not quite understood
by merely mortal men
that binds the heart and soul to one
where love does never end

That shatters all illusion
with ease and subtle grace
and shows me all I ever was
by just gazing on her face
that brought to me my self again
which came in sweet surprise
and gives each day the joy I find
while looking in her eyes

This is very nice

there is a lovingness, a softness to it. I think this is beautifully written. raskin

'Yet found who I was not' Poignant!, and so very well expressed.
