Guest Heart Like A Hole Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 this is a night for candles, heartling, they curl and burn upon our altar and some how... you are there, too achingly i stare and follow every shadow for just a glimpse of you, a Glimmer of your soul in the darkened reaches of this room. I trust you to find me here when i have no strength to move... someday, i feel you saying, you'll take me far away where shadows will have no more meaning than patches of life where light can't quite reach. But your Light is here now. Your Voice speaks. Your Hands feel me, and i am cradled to you in everyway but one; and that one will be ours soon enough. I am somewhere in between laughing and crying How can I feel both, so surely, in one single instance, merely because your Soul is Near? this is unexplainable by human tongues, so now i say Let Hearts do what Mouths do, and Speak those things which cannot be said By mortal pieces. I lay down now my every cross and the wounds upon me, I clean and they Heal. At your feet, I pray i will find a place beside You for all times. you are fiercely next to me... and every stone that is cast my way is deflected by the armor you have given me. You are my Shield. There is rain, here, and you are its reason. There is light, here, and you are its source. Tears and laughter melt into something Greater than mere emotion, a sound is born, Can you hear me echoing? skies above are flourishing for us in this instant as i twirl my ring around my finger. Its promises will not die by candlelight, as the moon fades back into Her slumber, I feel myself standing where you are. I feel my heart beating in time with yours. I feel. My gods, I feel. cherishing this time, the truth dawns in the darkest sky It is midnight, but I'm seeing clearly Dearheart - Beloved - I'm staying strong, head held higher than it ever dared before. I'm not afraid anymore. And you... You don't always have to be the strong one. I've learned so much in the darkening hours when all good children were taught to slumber i saw things that should have broken me but I'm Still Standing. By Your Side. i'm still standing, and isn't that a fantasy? All the prayers I've ever prayed are answered in the moments that pass between us and you, Precious One, Light and Love, My Only, are the question i'd been seeking. you are the reason i've been breathing. our Life has begun together, and we're already one we've already won. I'll put aside my pride. a new start from here on in, and all i ask... Will you take me where you go? I'll follow you. I follow you. I'll always follow. more constant than your shadows more sure than that the sun will rise am i that where you travel, I will be there, just to see the look in your eyes. if the world should break, i will find you, dust you off and tend your wounds i'll mend the tears in your coat of shadow colors, and be your breath if you are tired, i will carry you my hands are small, smaller than the rain, but i am Determined. And You Are mine. Mine, and I will be strong as steel and iron and granite stone, pull you back to shore, as the tide is carried by the moon. my eyes follow the flames tonight, watch them sing and crackle with a sweet refrain, "I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine." feel my fingers, i am tracing your spine feel my breath as it is exhaled upon your neck my lips brush against yours, a chaste kiss, and then deepening, blossoming, i am inside your mouth, as you are in mine, one sweet kiss across the space and time. My words are sung, "I won't let you fall apart." My hands pull you closer, and I can barely register anything but the glory of our beating hearts... This night, I am beside you. This night, you are beside me. We are for each other, and tonight, space is defied. this is a night for candles For you are mine. You are mine, and I am yours. then, now - Always. Feel me. Breathe this in. I am with you. I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted March 10, 2002 Report Share Posted March 10, 2002 I've said it before, I'll say it again: You have a wonderfully visual style. Even your metaphors are almost clear pictures in my head. I'm very glad to have your work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
