Sole Languish Not

Bestow him the means to bloom
Set free his captive heart,
From the dangers of wilt
From the perils of guilt,
Hardened heart traps,
Rotted soul snares
Troubled eye glares
He shall believe in your beauty
Setting fires to your infinity 
He toils and turns to you

Bestow her the means to bloom
Prove to her the sure science of Love
Give her reason to return in your arms
Hold her to your story
Voice the untold allegory
From the fate of death,
Quench her eyes with
Blessed beams of divinity
She will reassure your doubts
What remains cannot break her

The torrents of turbulence are ceaseless
The nights of woe are sacred and ageless
You are endless in them alone
You are complete in them together



A collaboration with David W. Breidenthal

David had the words, "What remains cannot break her" in his mind today. I suggested we should expand on his idea and we came up with this poem together. Happy that you have enjoyed it. I am honored by your graceful visits. <3~Laura
