Perhaps Like This

Perhaps I shall
remember you
 like this always
The way I now do
Or perhaps I am wrong
And there is nothing to
return to
To remember at all.

Perhaps if this is a test
And I fail again
Like so  many lifetimes before
Letting slip  this final chance the last one
Of making seventh heaven's door.

Perhaps  I never understood
Nevertheless I knew
True soulmates should have a together-end
And not make each other blue

If perhaps somewhere where Time ends and
Forever stands still....
Two souls shall reunite
To renew. ..
Unto godhood
their own trembling adamant wills.

That in the end
At the very last
Forgetting how the die was cast
We turned away and went apart
Lost in fallacies
Still there may be a turning back
If we don't forget to forgive the hurts
In soft remorse
In shameful hearts
In silent reveries. ..

Perhaps
always there are
hidden doors to  redemption
In such  moments as these.
