Soul Salve

F ortune teller told me
O f your coming my love.
R eassuring me.
E very hurt my heart sustained.
V itriol showers on my skin.
E vermore banished.
R emoved with loving care.

I  knew it was you.
N ever doubted her words.

Y ou have healed me with kisses.
O pened my heart once more.
U ndoing years of self protection.
R endering me free to be me.

E njoying out time together.
Y ou make me laugh so much.
E nvisaging a future with you.
S alve for my sorrowful soul.
