I do not believe in soulmates

The notion of being swooned into a whirlwind of romance is a tale long told,

Admonishing the beauty of efforts in oozing passion is a narrative untold.

Life in its bounty flair binds the bonds of togetherness in its endearment true,

But the love you seek does not forge outside, it forges its being within you.

Flamboyance in its exquisite nurture glorifies the gigantic gestures of amor in glee,

Not embracing the truth that the love that pours itself in the simplicity of two cups of coffee

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love is more than destiny playing the cupid’s dart,

Eternal affection is fostered in the abode of the countless strives of the ones who caress each other's hearts.

I don't believe in soulmates because blazing passion in its realm falters in its stance,

Affirming my faith in the ones who tirelessly toil in the refinement of their love makes the soul dance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stealing glimpses of vows of unconditionality foster the warm hugs of togetherness as the love grows old

In the embosom of amour that in the breaths of friendships forever lasts, lies the yarn of eternal love untold.
