****“The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.” The Alchemist *****
7/17/11
By the fireplace we’d sat--silently
The crackling flames dancing to the beat of our hearts
A memory being woven around us,
Cradling us in her cocoon
Fears balled tightly between us
Until it became impossible to unravel
Which one belonged to whom
Our senses sharpened
Tuned into our heart center
Until we could hear what wasn’t being said
Drawing in the energy of the world
Until it coursed through our veins
Fighting off the worries that plagued you
The obstacles I’d always seen in the way
It wasn’t until that moment,
Full of desire and resolution
We spoke directly to one another
A conversation we should have had long ago
Hypnotized by the possibilities
You folded yourself inside of me
Finally giving me much needed shape and definition
especially love the last stanza... also did i tell you i read the alchemist yesterday? i like the quote you chose :)

@ambika anand: that is one of my favorite quotes from the book! Check out this website with his quotes from different books and other quotes of his: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/566.Paulo_Coelho I really think I'm in love with him and need to read more of his stuff! What a wonderful writer. I might add meeting him to my list of things I want to do one day!
ReplyDelete@sanaa: I knew you'd be the only to catch that! :) The energy part is from yoga too!
