In Depth of Circumstance

In depth of circumstance, the heart shall write,
For senses, save one, deceive me tonight-
Pensive contemplation gives in to you,
While words, as they always are yours, flow through-
What she cannot fathom the heart consumes,
Tracing line after line, the passion blooms-
Oh, has this dream come to open my eyes,
To embellish your infinite surprise?
 
     Life as we know it has changed—I feel it!
The heart loves all—she cannot conceal it!
Listen to her sing with the pulse of love,
To the rhythmic peace of the fervent dove-
She reaches for the heavy soul she finds,
Squeezing its worries, its heartaches, and binds-
It is you, oh soul, with your thirst for more,
That opens a world we can both explore.

"To embellish your infinite surprise"...ah, a statement filled with hopeful irony. A visceral need for mutual wants, incomplete. You have strength within your reflections, within your strength. Awesome work!
