Just Cause

Does the moments apart from our warm embrace pour forth tears from your eyes such as the despondent swell pangfully giving rise from mine as I see your face burning the sullen walls of my mind where I choose to dwell? Such a burden of sadness we must surely endure until joyful wrinkles from our desirous lips form the cradles for tears of bliss to evoke the cure we shall achieve when our eyes meet through separation's mist. The poisonous growth of fear shall no longer cause me to fall against the tides of self destruction. Swaddled in reassuring hold from your arms is just cause to declare an inner peace from our love's salvation. Existing in suffrage is a penance that I must pay for the catharsis of my soul's etiquette which will lead to the maturity of heart and mind that will stay beside you so to vanquish the dread that life instills. Circle the 1st letter of the 1st line,circle the 2nd letter of the 2nd line,3rd letter of the 3rd line,4th letter of the 4th line and so on until it spells out the name of a person.
