Fear Not, My Love

I d r i f t e d amongst the willow trees in the breeze- swaying the barren branches into love’s fascination. sitting along the pebbled shore assembling sandcastles and counting stardust plummeting down onto the ebon eventide so gently. we tremble not at what lies ahead, for we are but a lifeline to the sunburst of dreams, our love travels beneath the ocean floor. FEAR NOT, my love- I have been enraptured by the effluence of your unyielding devotion, encompassing me in all the metaphors and syllables one woman can withstand. I never needed a soul to wash away my sins, but a man to tarry me into lands b e y o n d heaven’s gate. for you are my redemption and more- my truce in a war, my salvation in life’s atonement. you e a s e my aggrievances, remedy all things that have brought me pain.
