Shattered Love

I embrace you … you hold me tight, sounds of swift ivory doves cry out- fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses not insight, never cursed or full of deep blight; a million fairytales tremble at us, they know how our love does outshine with flickering light . . . black ravens plague this existence, saturated in loneliness were you- yet, you stayed with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease, descending onto my grateful knees; I sense your essence in the breeze, I know the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease . . . as the tempest rages in warm rains, the winds blows, and gusts prevail- emerging from the dust I was found, weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains your genuine adoration still sustains intense obscurity of calamity I faced before you attains . . . sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection, for I am a woman craving to be near you for all of eternity- bound by love and affection my alleviation found in perfection and I shall feel this pure affection for you, my beloved eternally and . . . oh . . . my beloved darling I have tried so hard, to go on without you in my life - but you call my name each night over and over and over, you call me; so, I stand with a dagger at your eternal tomb, ready to thrust it- into my broken heart . . . _________________________ September 8, 2019 Poetry/Verse/Shattered Love Copyright Protected, ID 19-1179-372-02 All Rights Reserved.
