What are we two?1
So long we have searched for the word;2
the phrase to describe us3
our life4
our love5
Separate though they may be6
we are always one in spirit7
My light, 8
My soul,9
my smile on those darkest of days10
You are the best, and then too11
the worse of me.12
For all these flames burn brighter13
and hotter14
and higher for you15
because of you.16
My gentle one behind your masks17
I still see you smiling there18
through cracked glass19
so fragile20
And windows left open to me still21
allowing passage into hidden spaces22
safely kept and locked away from the rest of the world;23
your sadness24
your fears25
your greatest hopes...26
Would that I could piece those things together again27
to make you whole28
and happy29
and ease the troubles, so numerous now...30
I would31
without a thought32
in but a single beat of your precious heart.33
Author notes
free verse...more as expression than anything else.
Sometims these things just need to get off ones chest.
