soul speak

that was you the other day

we passed by

the lost highway.

i remember you

in hues of blue.

a gentle smile

and ‘wrought’-

i fell into you

falling into me;

we were barely legal

but nothing could have stopped

what was sent our way.

One day I thought I’d fly

on the cliff you’d call me

any words to bring me back

to you

‘Love’

neither me nor you -

too young to understand

too young to turn away.

I found all I’d ever wanted

in that one fall day.

but like a rolling stone-

ten years later

i started rolling down

our life faded away

and here we are

on a lost highway.
