Empyrean Bliss

you are an enigma of empyrean bliss,
captivated am I by your astounding
tenderness-

before time prevailed in the hourglass
of existence you became my blanket 
of fleece in the dead freeze of winter. 
warmth encompassed me like blazing
embers from a kindled flame, and that’s 
what my heart still does, my love-
it burns for you. 

         if you needed a bridge, I’d link one to heaven’s gates-
         if you needed my tears, I’d cry an ocean for you.

saturated in forsaken memories was I 
before our different dimensions crossed,
and love struck me like a lightning bolt-
and it still does, my love-
it strikes when you caress me. 

         if you needed the night, I’d contrive an ebon sky-
         if you needed the rain, I’d shower with pleasure.

for you are an enigma of empyrean bliss...
