Finding my beloved

A poem by Jessica Semaan

You showed up in my dreams and whispered in my ear

I will find you — you shall seek me no more

You smiled at me on that sunny spring stroll, as I smelled the blooming gardenia and sang

I am already here, just keep smelling and keep breathing and you shall feel me in your lungs, belly and heart

You winked at me, when I went on stage for the first time, and giggled

You got this — you may not know it, but I am here to remind you of your greatness

You cried with me, when I believed for a moment we shall never meet, and you assured me

We have already met, it will merely be a reunion

You gazed at me when I was frightened to take the road less travelled and assured me

Follow your desires, and I shall find you along the way

You stared at me when I yelled and cried:

You don’t exist, you are a lie, I am forever alone

And you kept staring for hours, days and years until I saw you are all that is real

I can wait to meet you

I can wait to feel your arms embracing my soft skin

I can wait because I know you are waiting too

You are waiting for me to step into the heart of the woman, the queen, the goddess I am becoming

You are waiting for you to step into the man, the king, the god you are becoming

And on this road of the warriors, my beloved, we will unite

And when our bodies will collide, our love will transcend all the mountains of doubt, the seas of craving and the valleys of despair
