with patience glide

before the maw of a turbulent motion,
thoughts once calm morph into whirlwind maelstrom.
sailing across rivers of strange commotion,
obstacles like ravenous fiends arise
meaning to capsize this weakened vessel
and douse our inexplicable flame.
loathe them for the smiles
and the tranquil moods they claim.
but for each fiend that we fiercely slay,
flame grows ever brighter,
til it snatches our astonished gaze
to one day set all fiends ablaze.
to one day end this cumbersome phase.

before the maw of a vast horizon,
i prepare to reach its distant glow.
past the final veil of the unknown,
eager to know what lies beyond.
far across the cryptic ocean
straight into her arms.
for our love entwined may take shape and fly
to become the brightest feature in this caliginous sky
our soaring flame, a beacon
to guide the stray dreamless slaves that wallow
wandering through dogged gales of lonliness
futile attempts to spawn a similar light
lost within a forgotten blur of oblivion.
our luminous affinity,
an indisputable floating reminder
that true love flourishes still.
in our dying world of hatred shrill,
this rare and sacred elysium
favors those who bear wisdom
and a selfless will.

before the maw of loving light enthroned,
succulent gift pristine, to cosmic twins bestowed
a light to guide us through the baffling storm.
to invoke forgotten laughter and keep optimism warm.
yet fear, the violent feral phantom, stings.
tormented by its wrath
and the malevolent songs it sings.
whispers such spiteful and corrosive things
that leave me drained and tattered
with bruised and battered wings.
shattered i cling to remaining shreds of calm,
she holds the elixir,
soothing healing mixture,
in her open palm.
and with her words she doth subdue
each morbid thought like bold monsoon
sends pessimism falling to its abysmal doom,
hand in hand we ride the spiral
and we slip right through.

failure won't rear its head to scream,
and this flame will never fade
entwined within our realms of dreams,
no more room to feel afraid
let's manifest these vivid reveries
that've instilled hope for all this time
let's turn moments into memories
and merge our starving minds.

with patience glide as our tale unwinds.
