I seek in part to disbelieve
The shred and measure or power of pillage and plunder
For valiant is love

I do not possess it,
Or resist it…
Yet the embrace illuminates such lack or fracture

I cannot fathom the illusion, or transfusion
The heavy dregs of doubt, or pain
Of time upon the miracle…of joy, for the wind is real

I seek to peel away the shadows, strip away the shells,
Shed away all chafing ambivalence

My sheerest wrap is warmest and least is now the most
And what I feel for you the only treasure weighed
That could redeem the darkness, and become the morn

For as I look into your eyes
I am baptized and in the valley of our hearts
Forgiveness

The poem has much depth and fathom to it. The serenity with words paints the horizon and the sincerity is to adore. Beautifully written.
