Threads of Connection: Raquel Avila, Second Place

Updated: Oct 15

When Hearts Collide


Your heart once beat next to mine

For a moment in time

The sun set in your arms

Your cuddle, gaze, and pulling embrace

The magic you pursued in me

Set forth my admiration

Lifelong, beyond my control


The light in your eyes

As soon as we met

A glow inside both you and me

Will never fade away

Regardless of time or shade of sky


With you far away, another year

What remains is one thing

You’re my north star, my lost love

A constant spark, our soul connection


Whatever life brings in our parallel worlds

I imagine you near

It never withers, it never dies

Our spark, our souls’ reflection

When our hearts collide
