A War Worth Fighting

Tormented by the inhibitions left by static spite,

Basking in the frigid drafts consuming all my might,

Tolerance of discontent is waning as I seek--

Ameliorate all signs of doubt as I strive to critique

Days that lie in pasts that dwell as too close memories.

Reminding me in urgent swells to spurn the life I'm teased.

Duplicity that I have known has bled through cracks to present

Pooling deep upon the floors, reflecting love's lament.

Though it had left, in vapid form, unfairly casting blame

It soon returned, did blessed gift, in noted disarray.

Malcontent, you dissadent, in place of your deception,

God did show me His intent. An angel. An exception.

Cast upon this wretched ground to spread an abstruse joy

Impossible odds stitched a seam that bound her to a boy.

Broken, bruised and battered still, I'd seen in her composure.

I, that boy, had found a way to break free of enclosure.

With velvet hands, she wound a way into my beating heart.

Coils stretched, entwined in labyrinth patterns just to start,

My life's true love soon spun a web to shelter my sad soul.

Escape, it sought. She brought it back, as bells of health did toll.

Inordinately, overmuch! Soon, she was forced to go.

Between our homes is such a space, I prayed it not be so.

Continents though, can't divide a bond as strong as this.

Though fortunes don't quite convalesce as quickly as we wish.

Distance shall create at times unnerving states of grief.

Fear not, my love. Please understand that hope shall cast relief.

Time shall prove, I know, assured, to be a vagrant woe.

Rampant flame of ardor shall cascade it's forceful flow.

Come with me, our hands entwined to drift upon this wave

That carries fortune, hope and promise to our hearts, the brave.

Fighting for each other proves to all we needn't care

For petty thoughts of lack of trust that dwell among despair.

Too far above the crowd we fly to be dragged down by doubt.

Jealousy shall taint us not as we lie near without.

Space reserved exclusively for us, we two, the chosen.

Exemplified mold of a love locked in all ages, frozen.

So though communication shall at times still pull us down to weeping,

Remember, dearest, all I've stated for the love we're keeping.

Escape, it can't. It's locked inside our souls that we now share.

Please revel in it's warming glow if you shall ere despair.
