Soulmates?
Why do I carry false expectations?
Have I over consumed media? Gorged
sappy stories of predestination?
Should I believe in soulmates? What if forged,
fired through affirmed, conscious decisions?
Words don’t work. I’m nothing when I speak of
what I must do. Empty aspirations
wilt under heat when I just profess love.
A clanging cymbal forces a question:
How to satisfy My Love’s inner needs
when words fail short of love’s full expression?
Can my love be shown without doing deeds?
My old friend James wrote something I once read,
was, “Love, if it has not good works, is dead.”
