With You I Am Myself
" sounds of swift ivory doves cry out,
they know how our love does outshine with flickering light-
a million fairytales tremble at us,
fleeting into the ebon night;
never cursed or full of deep blight;
for our love loses not insight,
nor does it fail to do what is right,
I embrace you…you hold me tight
saturated in loneliness were you-
yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease,
black ravens plague this existence,
discouraging me with such persistence,
I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease;
descending onto my grateful knees-
I sense your essence in the breeze
the wind blows, and gusts prevail,
weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains-
emerging from the dust I was found
intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains;
your genuine adoration still sustains,
as the tempest rages in warm rains
for I am but a woman (*or man*) craving to be near you for all of eternity-
giving you of myself from the depths of my sincerity,
and I shall feel this pure affection or you, my beloved…eternally.
and...
sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection,
a whisper of tenderness giving me direction,
my alleviation found in perfection-
bound by love and affection"
