The need for fellowship, companionship.
Upon this precipice
I
reach out with hope and want,
eyes shut and toes perilously close to the edge.

Contact is made.

Fused by the gazing of a single star,
we melt together in a pool of
shared experiences and mental illusions.
Dance this dance with me in our ignorant cocoon of
twin thoughts and one-way sentiments.
We're sheltered, shielded, blindfolded as we
hold hands and skip through this honey-hued hinterland.

When will this dream fail?
When will the ugly, gaudy colours of reality
paint us back into consciousness?

It's an eventuality we must face,
even as we cling to each other in an
enduring embrace,
human binds of security and escapism.

But for now, love, for now,
we'll touch our hands together softly
yet firmly, dancing ad infinitum in this hinter wonderland.

I was sat thinking about how you isolated that single 'I' for a while, thinking about its significance and what it could represent. Which I love in a poem, the ability to keep me thinking. Should the last line have been 'winter' though?

I really loved it, and in the end I thought maybe the single 'I' could be to emphasise artificial angels, that they can't be genuine saviours because they're too egocentric.

Heartache to Sing, thanks =]

And Ellen, thanks for taking the time to actually think about it, your interpretation was astounding. Yes, I wanted to emphasise the selfishness of the personas and the single 'I' in that line was indeed meant for that purpose.
Oh, and yes, it IS supposed to be 'winter' xD.

because it is so much of what being a twin flame with someone thousands of miles and lifetimes away from you is really like!

That is absolutely beautiful.

All of your work is. I think you truly are becoming one of my most favoured poets.

Though, it could have used a little more imagery. But the wording and description was phenominal.

Excellent job, as always.
