Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allan Poe

Cool breeze blows your hair
Trees swaying so delicately
The smoke leaves your lungs exquisitely
Gentle whispers let me know you’re there

Voice as hypnotizing as the orchestra
Tight grip on my waist
Dancing at a slow pace
Boy my heart you gently strum

We love like rebels
Yet our hearts ethereal
Higher on so many levels
It’s truly imperial

 

Old souls trapped in a new world,
But still reign in California.

The author's comments:

This poem is about a 21st century couple still stuck in the years between the 20's and 60's. Although those times have passed and they seem too young to have even experienced life in those times, they're old souls reliving the passed in a new age.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
