My Fragile Resistance-Lu's

I sense your essence in the breeze bound by love and affection
black ravens plague this existence as the tempest rages in warm rains
the wind blows and gusts prevail
fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses not insight
but goes where it will as long as it please
intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains
sounds of swift ivory doves cry out, emerging from the dust I was found
sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection
saturated in loneliness were you and…
as I struggled with demons and flailed all about
weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains
yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease
and I shall feel this pure affection for you, my beloved…eternally
a million fairytales tremble at us
begging for a happy ever after is not useless
descending onto my grateful knees- your genuine adoration still sustains
I embrace you…you hold me tight
I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease
never cursed or full of deep blight; my alleviation found in perfection-
they know how our love does outshine with flickering light-,
and I slowly let down all of my fragile resistance
for I am but a woman craving to be near you for all of eternity
