My Lamp

For long I lay buried

An average man;

Born into the world

To leave my mark,

I died young

After a brief flicker.

Living among masses

Of anonymous existence,

Life was a mundane chore;

You came along

And lit my lamp,

And I did flicker again.

The glow of hope awakes me,

To know myself anew;

With you my love

I'll move the world,

Will you light 

My lamp all through?

Soul Mate

Why does it feel just right with you?
Why does it sound all deep and true?
Why does it look so bright not blue?
Why does it stick real firm like glue?

Is it because it's always been you,
Across time and space all through?
Were we never ever far and apart,
Even when life was playing its part?

Tell me my love, my mate of soul,
Is that why you make me whole?
Is that why when it's dark and trite,
In me you and in you I find our light?
