Held Captive
(For a contest using another poets lines switched up)
HELD CAPTIVE
The wind blows, and gusts prevail
I sense your essence in the breeze
Descending onto my grateful knees
I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease.
yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease
Finding soon…**
Your own anguish appeased**
Sounds of swift ivory doves cry out
Dispelling the darkness as to wings they talk flight**
Black ravens plague this existence
Never cursed or full of deep blight
Fleeting into the ebony night; for our love loses not insight
No longer…***
Saturated in loneliness were you
Emerging from the dust I was found
intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains
as the tempest rages in warm rains
they know how our love does outshine with flickering light
weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains;
Held captive…**
your genuine adoration still sustains
Sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection
For I am but a woman craving to be near you for all eternity
I embrace you…you hold me tight
Bound by love and affection
My alleviation found in perfection
and I shall feel this pure affection or you, my beloved…eternally
And…
A million fairy-tales tremble at us
