At first I didn’t recognize you <br />I thought that you were queer <br />One look into each other’s eyes <br />Our souls revealed and bare <br /> <br />Identities forgotten <br />Identities recalled <br />That essence beyond age and words <br />Beseeches … “One more time” <br /> <br />You don’t remember? <br />Funny, neither do I <br />Those countless moments <br />We must have shared <br /> <br />Brothers as friends … <br />Children at play… <br />Lovers at war… <br />Mother and babe… <br /> <br />Kings in glory… <br />Jesters at best… <br />Leaders corrupt … <br />People astray… <br /> <br />Traitors in cloak... <br />Soldiers in arms… <br />Blood shed on swords… <br />Comrades in aid… <br /> <br />A cherished kiss… <br />A warm hug… <br />Carnal desire… <br />Hunter and prey … <br /> <br />Women weaving… <br />Daughters dancing… <br />Secrets revealed … <br />Rapture another … <br /> <br />Myriad arrangements <br />Seconds galore <br />And here we are <br />We meet again …<br /><br />Gisela Ireland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-meet-again/
