After the Storm Has Passed

Gone is your presence, 
But forgotten not 
Is its place in my heart. 

Away from me you flew, 
Carried away by the storm 
As its troubled winds 
Whispered its lies 
With its cool and moist breath 

Promises of joy and ecstasy 
As you spun wildly 
In its blissful chaos, 
Un-mindedly subverted 
By its illusion of power and beauty. 

But eternal is my love 
And forever shall I wait for your return 
From the swirling torment 
That has stolen you away. 

Resolved is my heart 
And hopeful is my demeanor 
That you will soon be reborn 
Into my calm sky, 

As my patient arms 
Await your intimate embrace.
