Next Time Around

I resigned myself ~ very long ago

To never have you ~ or even know

 

Suspect your being ~ every day gone by

Though denied the encounter ~ stopped asking why

 

Feel you there ~ at night when lonely

Wondering where ~ and then, if only

 

Implausible it's not ~ when one understands

The infinite workers ~ our Creator's hands

 

How two souls can miss ~ a destined rendezvous

Supposed to be one ~ still forever are two

 

So I do carry on ~ leaving you not found

And pray I make your acquaintance ~ the next time around

Hi,

As Maggie mentioned, what a wonderful beginning. Hooked me immediately, and I'm not a poetry person. However, if more poetry was like this, it could change me.

By the way, I clicked on a Featured Upload that was on the main upload page. It had a different title and a different author, but this poem is what popped up. I'm not complaining, however. In fact, I'm very glad I read this. A poem without the use of the words 'soul mate'. Thank you.

Unique format and it works delightfully for you. A great new take on an undying topic.

What a lovely poem! I know little of poetry, but I like the way this one 'feels' -- the texture of it. The "up" ending is fabulous.

So simple and yet covers it all. You have a real gift, friend. Who isn't tortured that somehow we missed our true soul mate...but here you give a strange sense of the BIG Picture, knowing there will be another chance in another lifetime.

Still how lonely is it for us now? Great tangling of emotions.

Love the sentiment in this being a really old fashioned romantic. Your style is very clean if you know what I mean, simple but most effective word choices. I think we are going to read some good stuff from your pen.-B
