Star Crossed Lovers

Star crossed lovers

Crazy it seems

These paths should cross

As the stars aligned

The moon was full

That was the night

That I knew I loved you

There was this intensity

It was overwhelming

Like a great wave

That rises and falls

To crash against the rocks

You can even feel the ground

As it rocks a little

But we were caught up

In the moment

By the intensity

And I touched you

To feel the connection

With my eyes closed

I could see colors

When we came together as one

Just like it should be

And for a time

The magic remained

Untouched by mortal man

But all the glitters

Can be bought and sold

As time becomes your enemy

You see the cracks in the wall

And feel the foundation crumble

But still your eyes are closed

And you are reaching...

But the stars in the sky

Fell like tears in a silvery rain

Flooded the mountains
Washed away the connection...

And they stood at the crossroads

And chose another path

Went their separate ways

And the blue calm sea

Became a raging Storm

The lightning flashed

Angry in his eyes

The thunder like a scream

Echoed down the hallways

When love and hate
Was broken into a line

That nobody wanted to cross over

So it was the end of an era

And all that remained
Was time....

They say that time heals all wounds

But some were too deep

And some too painful

No spoken words would tell

All the secrets between them

But time moved on

And the storm became

A blue calm sea

The water washed away

The lines drawn in the sand

And forgiveness and healing

Brought their paths together

Once torn apart

An unexpected twist of fate

And a new beginning

Was the thing they both needed

To overcome the ghosts

And the demons

Cast them out
Into the holy waters

And not look back

Only forward

For star crossed lovers

And for old friends

As they come full circle

And begin again...
