How can I tell
where heart belongs,
where does wall end
to let emotions
take butterflies
in hope embrace?
***
Will I find peace
on other side of garden,
can thoughts still linger
in your heart,
am I still there,
or just a dream
gone with the dew
hope melted
before time
could touch soul memory,
add fragrance
to what it felt like to hold hands
as fate bloomed
too fast,
and yet too slow
to still a sea of hearts,
to learn
that happiness can sing
so loudly in the dark.
***
Harmony of soul voices,
yours
calling to my own
in words
only I heard,
you can have flowers in your hair
bloom in a smile,
love will return
the second you let doubts
go on dusk wings
take this one chance to wish
upon twilight
soul shore.
