Love Poem: Thank You

Thank You

Have I found you upon a mistake?
 A misgiven--prison - yet a  gift just the same 
 Scars mend; however, my eternal lacks such privilege 
 My place will always be place, a moment's glance 

  I thought I'd lost that sweet smell, that honeysuckle aroma of wanting 
 For I was revisited time and time again, with the inhalation of burning leaves 

 Now is the time for mending. I look forward to getting drunk on rose water 
 Let me swirl in the emotions that preface yearning 

 Starvation led to my cirrhosis, my anorexic heart, which long-awaited the nutrition that could only come from you 
 As you have breathed that sacred breath of life back into me, one I thought only a cherub could behold 

 Did you hear the music? 
That Symphony I wrote so long ago.  
It lured you to me 
Brought you home, gave me place , expired no more, for now, I live, letting go of all the yesteryears
