...dark thoughts // they come in the light of day...

day 18a

day 18a

May 10, 2022

Soulmates are forever
that's what they always say
finding them's the hard part
that's what I always say

Knowing what you have 
right when you have it
A p p r e c i a t i n g 
beauty in a bond
more rare and precious 
than diamonds or gold

Ever met someone who just seems to get you?  
Who seems to just KNOW YOU like they KNOW THEMSELF?

Like the back of your hand
f a m i l i a r i t y 
see yourself in their eyes
no words are needed here

It's futile to fight
the invasiveness — 
coming face to face
with a person who
changes your outlook
on life forever

I have had that experience, once or twice 
in my life, such a remarkable thing

I've known the feeling of 
having and losing a 
soulmate, and it's really
not for the faint-hearted

But no matter what
always remember
life is worth living
only because of
e x p e r i e n c e s
shared between soulmates

So don't be afraid to go out and find yours
For I'll never forget the joy and sadness…

Right then.

So I ABSOLUTELY HATED what I'd actually written on this day and decided to scrap it (mostly) and write something new based off what I had previously done.
This is the result.
It's not perfect.
And it's certainly not edited…
But at least it's something
And it's readable.
And… not half bad (I think /asdfghjklll;'gfd)

It's written in one of my made-up poetry styles: The 6+5=11 Poems.

- 9-stanzas in this one (though there can be as many as I want), it works by counting syllables.
- In the first stanza, every line has 6. In the second, it's 5. And in the third, it's 11 (6+5). Then it just repeats.
- The 6-syllable stanzas always have 4-lines.
- The 5-syllable stanzas always have 6-lines.
- And the 11-syllable stanzas have either 2- or 4-lines. (In this poem it was 2.)

That's really it.

Has anyone ever met their soulmate(s) before? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear about it. (❁´◡`❁)

I like the poem just as it it. Nothing needs to be changed. Don't recall if I ever had one, or recognized it.
