AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a poem I wrote a while back for a guy I was seeing at the time. This was/is a "past life" write, someone I knew in another life and met again in this one. I have had re-occurring dreams about this particular past life, just little glimpses here and there throughout my life up until I met him again, then it all made sense. I would like to think that he remembered too, on a subconscious level, but he wasn't ready to remember; I think it scared him in a way.
'A Reuniting of Sorts (Take 1)' has also been included in this book, which I dedicated in honor of Michael Hutchence on what would have been his 56th Birthday; the chapter title for that poem is 'For Michael -- A Reuniting of sorts (Take 1)'.
---- The song is called 'Alien' by Bush, I added it because I freakin' love that song. :)
(The photo of Michael Hutchence above was taken by Laura Levine in 1986 and all copyrights go to her. It's probably my favorite photo of him).

A Reuniting of sorts (Take 2)
Two souls intertwine in a fit of heated passion
little do they know -- on a conscious level --
... that they have loved before ...
... So much like a coming home!
The long and weary and heart-wrenching journey was over,
and for the first time
I knew what it was for my heart to be full.
...... Now,
not angry, nor indifferent.
Not achy, nor longing.
Not vengeful, nor jealous,
... a little dazed, perhaps, from the memory of you
From what it had known before,
and had come
SO ... so close to knowing again ...
Now ...
... just sad.
A sadness that reaches far and deep,
a sadness that fills both my heart,
... and yours ...
A sadness that shall expand ever outward,
filling the Universe as it cries out in its infiniteness
as it too,
remembers...
