One Day

 

For an agonizing eternity of sunsets

I faced every eve in desperate aching loneliness,

as a frail shell of tattered and dead nerves

death's reaper viewed with prayer of release

from the silence starvation

where no one ever wanted

to embrace my sorrow stained soul.

 

One single fated second brushed by Cupid's trace of breath

brought an angel into my hellish torment,

who placed love's candle upon my ruinous, decaying heart,

until she help me with her merciful, caring hands

to erect again joy's temple on the barren desert I called life.

 

In her arms the affection's embers were stirred

sending passion's brightest flames into my every shadow,

a light shining with Heaven's gold

which evaporated every pained memory

leaving my eyes only able to see her beautiful face.

 

Under the mantle of intimacy's tent have I found in my beloved

all that is chanted in verse by quills

the most precious caress that I could ever know.

 

Words come to my lips that now glow from seeing her image

causing such intense streaks of happiness within my essence

over each precious hour I have to treat as one day of pure ecstasy

when my lips can say with all my truest desire,

I love you. 

 

Author notes

Love I have only known with my AP wife, Desire.

    Destiny has been kind to you!

    Or should I say "Desire"!
    How wonderful for you.
    But such a desert of loneliness in the shadows you've had to walk previous to your love.
    What wonderful word power you illustrate in your poem, very impressive.
    Thanks for you poem.
