Elle Adler Poet Romanticism

As We Bend, We Sway

In his ever-blue eyes
I cry for Mercy 
Into his everlasting arms
I am so tenderly Found
His effortless smile 
Turns me Away
From hells of lives
Leads me astray 


And in the utmost truth- 
  We bend
In the eternal proof- 
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together, we bend  (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together, we sway  (As one)


And he sparkles like the light
Filtered and frayed through the Glass 
Like the stars of the night 
Eternal, unwavering like the Past
My soul unwraps his, ever so Bright
Forever unchanging in the changing light


And in the utmost truth-
  We bend
In the eternal proof-
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together we bend  (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together we sway  (As one)

And into his chest
I've followed,
 braced into his heart
My lips so firmly pressed 
Against his,
 unable to pull apart
Only next to him can I rest
As our bodies, 
 stop only to start
We fold along 
Into each others 
  like truer works of art

And in the utmost truth-
  We bend
In the eternal proof-
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together we bend   (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together we sway   (As one)

In the recesses 
   of my mind
Seeing wings shooting out 
   from his spine 
Like an angel 
   of some kind
Translucent feathers spiral 
   around this love of mine
