Eternal Nearness

the wind blows, and gusts prevail, I sense your essence in the breeze as the tempest rages in warm rains, emerging from the dust I was found weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains; a million fairytales tremble at us, they know how our love does outshine with flickering light- fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses not insight, sounds of swift ivory doves cry out, never cursed or full of deep blight; black ravens plague this existence, I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease; saturated in loneliness were you- yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease, descending onto my grateful knees- your genuine adoration still sustains intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains- for I am but a man craving to be near you for all of eternity- sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection, and... my alleviation found in perfection- bound by love and affection I embrace you…you hold me tight and I shall feel this pure affection or you, my beloved…eternally.
