Distance

The city, it cried endless tears
as the night took over 
faster and faster 
the fragile part exploded in ways
never seen before

it was as if one night,
fate took a gamble 
and at that hour in which they met
two souls from separate corners of the earth
hadn't know a thing

night by night 
their spirits wandered aimlessly
until the aim had magically become each other
without conscious reasoning or acceptance
that's how they took over one another

his words echoed like a hymn 
where each word was nothing short of divine
and she was often caught breathless
he even tended to parts unknown 
distant and melancholy 

her words entrapped him 
in which she often whispered
"come here, let me show you how to be loved."
vulnerability, she no longer feared
but was convinced,
to lay nothing down but the truth 
 
after all, came autumn 
the season of change and new beginnings
to them it would be a time of much more
because they were each other's new dawning.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
