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.
Back in 1990 I was remembering a girl I had not seen since 1983....... and just the memories of her got me into a lot of trouble.
You put flowers in your hair Soft subtle warmth A frame around the beauty Brittle in the frost of your gaze...your stare You put flowers in your hair hidden in your glow subdued by the glare You put flowers in your hair I cant see them...anymore.
Bubbles .. The taint which destroyed.. Trying to hold fast The core of all Where eternity seems To live. Bubbles.. All connected Yet from where cometh the tainted? Illusion or sight? Hope for right? Frayed flesh Live in the bubbles? Then 'who shall deliver me from the body of this death'? Romans 7:24
