Love Poem: Once

Once

My Heart 
My Soul 
My breath
Taken once but before then
Once laid upon the airless, ageless, confined land of hatred of thy self
Taken by the one that was given the least
Burden's without faith and hope lye on the floor with no point in following
Souls intertwine
As do the winds and the sea brush against 
Heart's beat as one
As do the sun and ground reflect alongside the air of a thousand souls
Breath's breathe as one
As do you and I 
Taken once but before then
Once laid upon the airless, ageless, confined land of hatred of thy self
My heart
My soul
My breath
Once taken by you and will never be given back........
