Soul Mate

By: shaila mukesh joshi

Once my soul and I were one,
Together, peaceful and in love.
My heart was one and beating alive.
Untill the day God decreed.
That I shall be split in half,
My heart shall be torn in two.
I am now not single, but a dual being.
My other self is me,
But is a stranger to me.
I feel as if I have known him forever,
But I have never reaaly met him.
Now aeons have passed,
I have been born again and again.
Each passing life is a blur,
In each life I am searching,
Searching for my soul.
A soul which has escaped me,
Each life is unsatisfied,
For my soul is lost somewhere,
I do not seem to find it anywhere.
My heart beats healthy and alive,
But I feel that it is sad and alone.
It longs to beat in a rhthym,
With a part of it which has been lost.
Why do I want someone so much,
Someone I have not met,
Yet, I long for him so passionatly,
I think I am going mad,
But I look around me,
And I see, every being doing the same.
For since the day God decreed,
Each Man and Woman,
Is looking for their Soul Mate.
