You Once Knew Me



Living hidden deep within the young souls of you and I
memories in life enlightened by pure moon beams light
casting out in the present time quiet ghostly illusions
this eve brought forth from worlds far beyond delight.

In that book written long before are mystical words
mysteries work which glow in golden spirited tones
sung in silent voices and whispered lust in elegance
known only through the echos of all of life's fires.

In the words are the written loves and lives we shared
as angels, as servants, as rulers, all as lovers paired
souls formed from one within 'HIS' gracious will to be
again together works of words, comprised by you and me.

We will to live and laugh and love, lustfully at last
together, between, and beyond all that is done and past
as the angels watch and speak of this bonding so vast
seas of stars forever glow, our hearts desire surpassed.
