Some day out of the blue
In a crowded street or a deserted
square
I'll turn and I'll see you
As if our love were new
Some day we can start again,
some day soon
Here comes the night
Here come the memories
Lost in your arms
Down in the foreign fields
Not so long ago
Seems like eternity
Those sweet afternoons
Still capture me
I still believe
I still put faith in us
We had it all and watched it
slip away
Where are we now
Not where we want to be
Those hot afternoons
Still follow me
Some day out of the blue
Maybe years from now
Or tomorrow night
I'll turn and I'll see you
As if we always knew
Some day we would live again,
some day soon
I still believe
I still put faith in us
A week ago the dreams or maybe
I should call them memories, returned. I've had them off and on since I
was a small child and most mornings upon waking they fade away. Lost in
the daylight. But not this time.
This time they have occurred
nightly, and they are so vivid and real that I can still feel and remember
them when I awake.
The memories are always the
same, and yet different. I am there, sometimes old, sometimes young, sometimes
in the prime of my life. And He is there and he is my love. The only love
for me. His eyes are the bluest I have ever seen. As blue as the ocean
or the cool crisp mountain lakes of the Scottish
Highlands, and his mere presence
calms me like no other. While the husband I lost was a good man and
I did love him, I knew from the very first he was not Him.. My one true
love, my soul mate
I am always a healer and he
is always involved with the sea and then in those lifetimes where technology
allowed, the sea of stars...that vastness called outer space. The names
change: Brianna and Nial, Flavia and Augustus, Catherine and Richard. And
the places change: Atlantis, Camelot, Pompeii, Alexandria, Paris, London,
Edinburgh, New Orleans, New York, Honolulu, Papeete, Sydney. These change,
but our love never does.
Sometimes we live full and complete
lives together, meeting when we are young. Other times ours is a love found
in later years or one cut short by tragedy.
We were Flavia and Augustus
locked together in a passionate, desperate embrace as the flaming ash from
Vesuvius consumed us. Catherine and Richard saying our desperate goodbyes
on the deck of the Ship of Dreams ? Titanic. I can still feel the agony
that ripped through me as I sat in a lifeboat watching that beautiful ship
tear in two and sink beneath the dark cold depths... Knowing my love was
still there... hearing the desperate pleas and cries of those doomed souls
and knowing they were dying, and he was among them and was lost to
me.
We were David and Mary, who
found each other, loved each other and lost each other during a time of
war in a beautiful place called Pearl Harbor.
Egypt, Greece, Italy, The Americas,
Europe, the islands of the South Seas... Our love has spanned many continents
and many times. And while some memories are the simple minutia of life,
most are highly sensual and extremely erotic. I can smell him, feel his
body next to mine and the strength of his arms around me. I hear the sounds
he makes while loving me and see the look in his eyes as he moves above
me, his eyes locked with mine.. And I can feel him filling me, and moving
with me, completing me with an incredible sense of being one soul.
We have made love underneath
the sun in a flower filled meadow and on a moon-drenched beach with the
sound of waves in my ears. In a four poster bed with the scent of magnolia
and night jasmine surrounding us.
In a tent outside of Alexandria,
with the cool breeze of the Nile carrying the scent of Lotus and the soft
nickering of horses. A satin and veil draped bed next to a balcony overlooking
the magnificent city of Troy and a loft bedroom in a small cottage in the
Scottish highlands? the scent of heather all around us. Beneath down comforters
in front of a fire place in a home in Paris; beneath furs in the great
hall of a castle; on his bunk in the cabin of a large sailing ship taking
supplies and emigrants to the New World.
He has been many things-- Pirate,
father, husband, kidnapper, rogue, ship-builder, Captain, fisherman, soldier,
astronaut, and a warrior..... but always a lover.
Our love was forged in the beginning
of time and we have lived and loved many lifetimes ? destined to find one
another in each time.
I have yet to find him in this
lifetime. I know not his name, nor where he is. I only know that, like
me, he is searching for that part that will complete him. My heart and
my dreams tell me that we will find each other soon and we will be as one
once more ? until the next lifetime and the next.
I feel my life is about to change.
He is close I can feel it. Perhaps, this new job ? this new position
on Alpha Moonbase. Perhaps there is where he waits for me. I know and always
have known to look for him on or near the sea or amongst the stars... that
is as much a part of him as healing is to me... as he is to me.
He is so close now. So very
close I can sense him.. I can feel him drawing near to me. Then the
door to my office opens and He is there in front of me. I gasp and
my eyes fill with tears as I instantly recognize my love.. It's his eyes..
They never change.. In each and every life time it is this feature I recognize
first. My surprise mirror his as I see the shock of recognition
in his eyes.
"It's you" he whispers softly.
"Yes" I reply and move to him.
We embrace, and our love is
complete once more. For this lifetime, and for eternity.
