To Heather

I've known her 
 without knowing. 
I've loved her 
 without loving.

She lived, she laughed, 
 while in a corner, love waited.
I danced, I sang
 unaware of love fated.

What beauty yet untold
 in her demise!
What love to yet unfold 
 behind her eyes!

Hearts so black can bleed
 the deepest Red;
I feel what flows through her-
 those words unsaid.

And yet we walked a separate path, 
Within the reach of Karma's wrath.

My eyes opened, 
 and there she stood.
Her eyes opened, 
 and there I stood.

One man, one woman- 
A King and his Queen.
