I stepped through gates long lost,
Onto paths and into gardens long-forgotten.
Through mist and troubled lands,
Stopping at beaches riddled with bloodied sands.
Strolling past the history of wars won,
And the scars of battles lost.
The skies overcast and grey,
Unmoving, unperturbed by time.
Today the sun will shine his brightest,
The birds will pip their finest tunes.
The day marked,
Like a beloved page of a well-loved book; dog-eared.
I looked into your deeply hazel eyes,
And saw Time falter; Felt Love take me over.
The day you led me into your garden,
Holding me by my hand.
The day you whispered into ears long-used by hard words,
“I love you too.”
The day an angel fell into my arms
Happy 3 Month Anniversary, my dearest Nicole. =) I love you.
Put those clouds afore me,
Trouble me with lightning and scary things.
Chase me, hunt me ’till I flee.
Beat me, curse me before all to see.
I have lost the fear in pain and retribution,
I have lost the innocence in all these things.
A light of love divine tears apart the shadows,
A compass unfazed; an intuition.
At day’s break,
as I slowly wake,
I look for you, though my mind doth flake.
As the day waxes and burning quickens,
My thoughts of you hardly fade,
Becoming bolder and complete, it barely slackens.
At day’s end, as I crawl to slumber,
And enter Sleep’s weary gates.
You welcome me in Dream lands stretching far,
And kiss me gentle,
Beyond the World’s ability to mar.
Oh tickle me, this yearning deep!
This constant pining in my soul.
But steady is the hand with the sickle’s nip,
That rosemary seeks with heart that’s whole.
In twilight, under twinkling star,
I remember promise and hope, and love from afar.
Oh Lord, who art in heaven,
Hallow’d be thy name.
Bless’d am I to love an angel of grace,
Bless’d am I to await the day
I can again kiss the smile on her face.
