Love Poem: Soul Mate

Soul Mate

In forgotten dreams
a  lonely phoenix gives its last breath
to birth  an ancient  spell. 
An  egg that is forged  from her heart

This last act  of innocence
Will  gives hope to 
a love caged in a  world,
surrounded by winters cold.

Silently love waits for the  fires lament 
that will free a shimmering soul.
An apparition  of emotion 
searching  for a  hand that  may not exist,
fuelled only by hope and desire.

This spell that was born in royal veins
corrupted with ancestors curse ,
conspires to cheat the reapers hand.
For life is suspended.
Beauty is in league with time,
her decay is absorbed by the mirror
 that deceives the dandies puff.
A mirror that we all possess.

No claims from the souls inside
Only a united bond that peers into paradise.
Reflections of the truth are frozen, 
for statues are blind
and the birds of love stare back in silence, 
destined to find no mate.


Creation must till this soil forward
for the  stars were born to life.
The darkness where she resides 
is but a stormy night.
And tomorrow will bring the light.

The beating wings of myth  perfumes her chamber
with the smell of dragons dare.
The soul of youth  this warmth of man
Resides behind these turquoise eyes
of the last seed of a noble race.

 Desire and passion feed the furnace within
But love turns breath into  summers wind
and the earth is stirred to life

A  molten stream from an unborn star
Rages forth from a barren womb
And the heat of desire cracks the  egg
that brings pardon to this birth

Gods awaken, their crowns go dim
As Eve rises slowly 
born to taste a golden fire .
One kiss from his virgin lips
 and her heart will beat again,

To be the first to see this Eve
Is written  in the mirror
To look into her eyes 
A secret love  revealed
The joy of tasting an angels soul
the marriage of hearts as one.

But touch her face and gather  her stare
And love will seek the truth
For Eve will pay her dues

Love is found in the seconds of the clock
And loneliness is forever
She belongs to humanities dream
of Romeo and lovers grief.

Dragons kiss will  feel her heart
These seconds of ecstasy  will shed his wings
The warmth of life is ticking.
and now the key is turning.

A dragon chained by love,
can never be free
and he became her crystal.
A royal statue to a lover’s dream
Whose kingdom  she commands.

Snared in a dream forever
He will find no cold in love.
All will  spend eternity 
gazing upon their goddess
Enslaved by the reflection in the mirror

And  what of Eve .
Tears of snow  turn into ice
as the heat of life subsides.
The cry of  phoenix
Remembered in the prism of light
While the silence of death continues to call , 
hidden In the darkness between the Stars

And the gods will pay tribute in statue
To a woman that gods and mortals cannot touch 
Where beauty resides forever
In a heart protected by  the stars and the shimmer
Upon the pool of life.
And her name  will be the last soul to die
For she is Medusa 
Queen of all that we love.
