Twin Flames

A poem to the one(s) I’ve always known

When we meet
we reunite in each
and every space, and time
here, and everywhere
— all at once

When we touch
each incarnation of you
touches each one of mine
since the beginning
— until the end

With your caress
I feel you far before you
reach my wanting skin;
a fading imprint
—that always was

When we kiss
no start or end, but
fixed in timelessness
our nearing lips
—never parted

And so we float;
current bound
in this vast, unending sea
side by side
—together

And so we burn;
two dancing flames
in this great, undying fire
interwound
—apart
