Our Love Story

The job was done, 

Things were in place, 

Earth created, 

And so was Space.

Man was scattered, 

Throughout the Land,

And paths were made

Along the sand.

Clouds were adorned,

Up in the sky, 

And places made 

For birds to fly. 

The sea was made, 

For plants and fish. 

The stars were placed 

To make a wish. 

The souls that were, 

Up in the sky. 

Were placed in man,

Till he would die. . . . 

One soul somehow 

Was split in two, 

One half was me, 

The other, you. 

Two bodies lived, 

Though unaware, 

The other half 

Would be somewhere.

Though they have lived, 

So far away, 

The souls had known, 

They’d meet one day. 

And when they met, 

Both of them knew, 

They had been one, 

This fact was true. 

Now together, 

Their days are fun. 

For weren’t they, 

Meant to be ONE.

A love story from the beginning in the creation of the world and all that was in it and how two souls meant to be as one from that time came to be as it was meant to be; soulmates brought together as part of a foretold plan. Excellent rhyme and rhythm make your words a joy to read! I especially like the lines that speak of one soul split in two much as one would gift birth to the other.

Sheila, thank you for your very kind words and I am glad you liked it

Your poem is a very refreshing departure from the old hackneyed phrase: "soul mates" . . . altho I do believe in soul mates, your poem is the example I've always wanted to see, where someone can truly do justice to the idea without using the cliché phrase & expect that to do the job for them. Here, you've actually painted what "soul mates" means, using memorable imagery & imparting a hopefulness to those of us who haven't yet had the pleasure.

Some poems just get born without any conscious effort. This is one of them. I am glad you liked it.

So well done. I love how your mind works in this and the way you express it. Who can sum up creation and love in such a way? You.

A superbly written poem there. You talk of the history of the universe, then of the earth and then of your love story. One soul splits into two, and then the two meet and become one again. Some beautiful lines there with excellent rhyming.
Keep writing.

Each half of the other's soul...truly soulmates. How romantic and sweet this one is. The rhyming and rhythm were flawless. I enjoyed the staccato lines. They flowed so easily. Wonderful. Lydi**
