I was alone and perplexed when you found me,
hanging on to jagged edges of my soul,
barely breathing.
Roaming the crowded corridors of this world,
faking a smile.
The light you shone
burned deep.
It pierced my skin.
You approached me with angelic eyes
staring straight into my deserted mind.
You saw the affliction,
you saw the battle
between me, myself and I.
Right then,
you took my hand,
enclosed them in yours.
I felt the warmth
I felt a glimmer of hope
Your hand,
was like fire.
It burned my flesh
purifying my sins,
scorching the pain.
You looked at me and smiled,
told me not to worry.
I closed my eyes
and saw my past memories vanishing.
Visions of the future,
of happiness at last
snowflakes glistening on my window pane.
My heart flew before my eyes,
my soul was no longer broken.
Only then, did you place my hand
upon your chest
to listen to the music of your beats in rhythm.
"This is the music of a heart that has learned to let go"
...I hear the hooting of an owl
and I awake.
I set my hand upon my chest
and what I felt was bliss.
Yes, it was all but a dream,
although in reality, I now have in me
the purity and placidity of the heart I found in you.
But this was challenge for me and I decided to stick with it. It's not good at all, haha and I am not thaaattt proud of it, hehe, but I was in a writer's block for a couple of days now and this is the first thing I wrote. I hope it is okay for this contest and the title
I thank you for the good challenge! 








but yes, honestly speaking you have put a lot of brilliant images here, i like the crowded corridors of this world - that whole line. I would never be able to write anything with that title, unless i wrote something wierd and titled my poem with that 





If I can complete it on time that is
