Please share with me
Every detail of your life
For we have missed
Many moments together
All those that have come
Before we ever met

I find it hard to believe
You were always there
Yet I was unaware of you
Existing in another place
Where I hadn’t even thought
I should be looking

I searched high and low
For someone like you
Checking here and there
Except the one place
That was right there
In front of my face

I often wondered
If I would ever find you
In the great sea of humanity
Yet, one day, there you were
Ready to meet someone
Who would change your life

You came to me
As a ship seeks the harbor
When the sky spews forth
The fiercest of storms
Hoping I would be
Your guiding light

I took you in willingly
Wrapping you in my love
Warming you with a heat
Burning from deep within
Radiating like a thousand candles
Lit simultaneously

The darkness lifted suddenly
Making way for the light
Shining bright as the sun
Healing my wounded heart
Obliterating the pain
Of a life torn asunder

The birds sang softly
In tune with the feelings
We both felt that first day
They rejoiced in the moment
For they alone beheld
The renaissance of love

Awakened gently by Cupid
To a world that seemed so new
It was as if we cheated time
Going back to when
All was fresh and untarnished
By the elements of age

I played quietly
On the shores of desire
Feeling alive for the first time
In what seemed like ages
Walking by the edge of the beach
As the tide caresses me

I lose myself to the feeling
Of the water rushing over me
Washing me in warmth and wetness
Purifying me from within
I emerge from the ocean of desire
Cleansed and filled with passion

One look into those pools of blue
Is all it takes to ignite the flames
And I become lost to the world
Existing only in your eyes
For you alone my love
From now until the end of time

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

YES! OMG!! This was exquisitely done! I hung on EVERY word! One of the best I've read from you.

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Just the loveliest of expression ...

As a ship seeks the harbor
When the sky spews forth
The fiercest of storms
Hoping I would be
Your guiding light'


Marvelous imagery ~

I found my way here!  Thanks!  Funny that I stumbled upon this one...it spoke directly to me.  I pray that one day I will find what you speak of.

Never accepting a challenge, you will never feel the excitement of victory.

redwinggj,

Warmest welcome to you, my friend.  I knew you'd find this place just fine.  In my heart, I know you will find what you seek.  You are way too good of a person for it to be otherwise.

by the grace of God.
