SOULMATE AND FATE
You cannot have a soulmate . . .
whose breath you cannot feel.
Lonely is for dreamers . . .
who haven't learned to heal.
Nor can you have a lover . . .
whose presence you are denied.
Alone is not the way of love . . .
not now, the hereafter, or when somebody died.
Give your heart to an earthly goddess . . .
see what she does with you.
Set your soul on a journey . . .
understood by a privileged few.
Wrap your arms around real love . . .
she lives and lies next to you.
Remember to do it quickly, for fate is fickle . . .
and her best temptations are few.
