Defenses down, the naked soul peers out
blinking in the glare of love light
your light bathing me
in eager fingers
working on the buckles
of the armour to my heart.
No hurricane to harm me
just gentle breezes of
i love you
breathed across my ear
carrying the flavour
of many years of yearning
for completion, satisfaction
promised in the bonding Spirit gave us
which crumbled
under pressures
we were too young
to understand, withstand
we shattered into pieces
blown apart in time and space
till Spirit took a hand
to mend what should never
have been broken
in the first place
manifested light
that still gleams in the
moody shadowed
forever darkness
of your eyes
that look intent enough
to mark me with your logo
initials and a love song
to keep me breathing
the sweet dark light
we live in.
