Eternal Nearness

the wind blows, and gusts prevail,
I sense your essence in the breeze
as the tempest rages in warm rains,
emerging from the dust I was found
weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains;

a million fairytales tremble at us,
they know how our love does outshine with flickering light-
fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses not insight,
sounds of swift ivory doves cry out,
never cursed or full of deep blight;

black ravens plague this existence,
I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease;
saturated in loneliness were you-
yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease,
descending onto my grateful knees-
your genuine adoration still sustains

 intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains-
for I am but a man craving to be near you for all of eternity-
sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection,
and...
my alleviation found in perfection-
bound by love and affection
I embrace you…you hold me tight
and I shall feel this pure affection or you, my beloved…eternally.
