Poem
I shan’t forget the SKETCH of your silhouette I outlined your curves with charcoal of black- Come here my love, don’t you ever fret, for your BRITTLE bones seem ready to crack, but I shall get your fragile soul back on track. BEREFT you were left in the cold depressed, IMMUTABLE, your anguish a permanent fixture- You used to be FORMIDABLE, your pain caressed, but yet, your existence makes a beautiful picture. I shall read you verses of Psalms from scripture. Your frail and TENUOUS mind full of insecurity, DEMURELY you grimly take my loyal hands- Living a life of fear and obscurity, God is the only Man who understands, so, I’ll leave you His Word on the nightstand. You deserve an INTERLUDE not days of solitude, moments free from atonement and stress- Please tell me darling, if I seem to intrude, but my love for you I shall always confess, oh my sweetheart... I’ll never love you less. When dark days arrive may you survive all the things to come without warning- If only you were grateful to be alive, maybe your nights wouldn’t be spent mourning. I vow to show you my touch is heartwarming. I knew not passion before you, my dear, I only had a heartbroken crimson stain- I can only pray God takes away your fear, where only happy memories remain, a life full of righteousness, free from disdain. When I leave tonight I’ll turn on your nightlight, so that you may read passages from the Lord- May His sonnets and ballads bring you sight, and may your life never be abhorred. Only He understands your pain with full accord. I pray for simple things not cars or fancy rings, I have high hopes your faith will set sail- Trust in God and as the white dove sings, only mercy and grace shall prevail... take a deep breath, say a prayer and exhale.
