Soul Aflame!

[Carina Mellbin]

What is a soul?
It's the immortal part I'd say.
It's why we can be so intense.

What is a person?
It's an individual I'd say.
That's mortal.

What is a soulmate?
It's the person suited for another I'd say.

I feared my soullessness.
Shouldn't have.
Found it.
Well, half of it.

The other half, is you.

 

[Carina Mellbin]

We have no choice in the bodies that hold us

Thing of dirt and water and oxygen marked by thinking
and reacting and a couch
one may or may not be permitted
to sleep on. He may not permit me
to touch him or to take the bone
from his mouth, but he does, and that’s a choice
based on many factors, not the least of which
is his own desire to let me
do these things. How I could ever
think or feel myself more
deserving of a single thing than
this being, whom I call by a name the same way
my parents chose a name for me. The same way my genes
went expressing themselves to make my face exactly
my face. This isn’t special. Or this is special. But it’s one
answer, the same, for us both.
