Poem
I wish to weave my veins with yours, like two rivers joining their destinies under the eternal sky, to let my blood flow through the corridors of your craters, carrying with it a song of life, to drive out the deeply embedded poison, to show you how it is to breathe without the demons that tear at your silence, like shadows that have hidden too long in the dark corners of your soul. I wish to open your ribs like the gates of an ancient temple forgotten by the world, to extract your heart, scrape away the accumulated pain, and place it back, purified and reborn, still beating with the force of a universe, still yours, but stripped of the shadows of the past, a symphony of beats singing of a rediscovered love, pure and eternal. I wish to unveil your skin like a map of memories, to replace your scars with my fingerprints, so you never forget the touch that brought light where there was only darkness, like a gentle wind that erases the traces of the storm, leaving behind the peace of a summer rain. I wish to pull the demons from your throat, to throw them against the walls of this fortress that is you, to watch them beg for mercy, as they dissolve into the shadows of the night, like beasts that have stolen too many dreams, disappearing into the oblivion that has long awaited them. But trust is not something I can give you out of the blue, like an elixir of lost hope, you must open your hands, let fall the blade you've held like a talisman, until your palms remember how to bleed, how to let the pain go, and to receive the light that will envelop you in the warmth of an endless morning.
