Knight
We are simply, two complicated people, deeply in love.
Afraid to touch skin, fearful of the cut,
that pours out the sins and chokes the heart until it’s done.
We are strangers, who have never once, won.
Forcefully different, underneath the sun,
both so lonely, tired, on the run,
from a scary world and sadly everyone.
We are one, in pain, looking for home.
United not by misery, but by hope,
simply trying to find a way to cope.
I think of you each night,
when angels come at dark,
violent, out of sight, ready to ascend me by my throat.
Your beautiful heart, along the way, it broke.
We were both lost in dreams and then we woke,
but my dearest, only, eternal love,
I am poet, writing your peace in every stroke.
We, peek inside each other’s minds,
trying to find a sign to turn the tides.
Just know, I’m here to take your hand,
as long as it takes, I’ll be there to help you stand.
I’ll squeeze my lips,
push out all the air inside my lungs.
Form the chaos within my winds
and push the sea, to wet your feet.
Teardrops falling into place,
will bloom the garden that we chase.
And every single day we face,
will build up to the seconds, you are in my embrace.
So come on, let it all out,
let your rivers float and come my route.
Let your pain sink deep into my skin.
Let your soul be light. Let your lips form a grin.
My crownless, fearless, queen,
I fall before your alter, thin.
My knees have carved the rock beneath,
I, sick of days and cold within.
I am at your service, here to make this world seem,
as close to home, where you’ve once been,
the Kingdom high above our agonizing sins,
where you were drawn by a nameless King.
I can sense your sorrow, world’s away,
you, tired of surviving, the games we play.
I am no longer running, I am here to stay,
take deep breaths, then walk my way.
Better days, are coming.
Everything will be alright.
As long as there is light
and I have life.
