Like a Chrysalis
your silhouette lingers into a soft verse;
ebony etched ethereal aura engrained on age old canvas-
like a chrysalis your affection encompasses me in comfort
~safeguarded from fear forevermore~
for you shield me from persistent weathered seasons;
defend me against the lassitude of grievances i somehow call
forth when i am finally happy…
hands once ached, now solaced;
tears once shed, now dried-
fear erased like a pencil's mishap,
satchel of passion prevails...dignified
enchanted by epiphanies of alluring nights,
where touch remains intimate;
sheets of satin lining my curves-
eyes catch like the first and you whisper…
“i’m still so madly in love with you”-
you devour me whole - bad seeds and all;
(you always did see my scars as beautiful)
i am left unscathed in your arms
kept safe by love’s renown shield-
you are the magic holding the
heavens up in the sky...
thank God i am FOREVER yours
