THE PHANTOM TWINS

 

Two systems within our body dwell
One the bio-electro-chemical physical
The other our inner psycho spiritual-
Like two moving shadows interface,
At times melding into one then separate
Drifting, gliding almost playfully along
From birth to death they cannot be shed.

 

The thoughts of love like a sapling grow
Nurtured by tender emotions, feelings
Individually from our hearts and souls
Years later gaining strength they mature
The sapling now into a full tree grown
With many branches buds leaves to show
So too has our love matured seeking the One.

 

When found, the fruits of love each taste,
Their hearts on fire showing wild desire
Pleasant thoughts dedicated at all times
To each other, feelings elated, ecstatic
The quicker beat of heart, color in their cheek
Attest to their euphoric state of happiness
As their committed hearts now intertwine
Allowing their four shadows to merge into one.
