Bubble

We made a bubble of our minds -

Connected over the distance -

Our nerves together intertwined

And in their center, Our Existence -

Heartbeat to heartbeat - will to will -

Passion to passion - and to reason:

Keeping us in there from the chill

In every day - in every season -

And in the middle - in the core -

Were our own centers: In this bubble

They will be there, forevermore,

All times protected from the trouble.

The walls us from the world will keep

And in there we will be together:

In day, in night, in wake, in sleep

Like swallow safe within her feathers.

We made a bubble of our souls -

How hard it was though to sustain it!

To wait all day for you to call -

To keep away all that was tainted -

To keep alive, this heart to heart,

This mind to mind, this soul to soul,

To love you though we be apart -

And to retain this perfect whole:

The mental energy it took

Made me make most of every moment

My spirit tore, my body shook,

And I was in a passion's torment -

And then the bubble's walls concussed

As all its contents lay there scattered:

Eternal, present and the past

Of both the spirit and the matter.

The bubble burst; walls fell apart

And what was thought inside protected -

The throbbing souls, the beating hearts -

Were there, open and dissected.

It was as though the skin was flayed 

As centers lay there undefended 

I felt destroyed; you felt betrayed -

But something happened unintended:

I saw the beauty that is you,

You saw how much I cared for you,

I saw you from a closer view

And knew indeed that I adore you:

The bubble burst and spilt its core

But yet the dream has not been shattered:

I see you – clearer than before -

And I can love you even better.
