Walked to the lake nobody around Watery clear mirrored no sound Fish made their move taken by surprise Divine Love entered the clearing in disguise Appeared from nowhere crossed time bridged space How did Love know where to find this place Knew from the start Love wanted her heart To make her stay from far away Destined to meet had no idea why Kind hopeful passionate romantic guy Foliage reflection silent forest clime A window a portal a wormhole in time Peeked through the veil past the Divide Clandestine link to the other side A kiss a chain two souls linked together A golden moment personified forever To a river where the crowds gather Followed invited welcomed her there Visualized materialized the crack sublime The crowd parted for her proof paradigm Her mission veiled her purpose oblivious Death lurked undetectable ubiquitous Invisible Denizen of Fear Behind in front at her side always near Waited for a mistake hoped for a lie A justified excuse to take her life Stalked her everywhere dragged her around Wondered when to take her down under The ledge behind the edge set up high Nowhere to hide Death always close by Steeled herself gathered her strength Lethal Weapon disarmed; Exigent Innocent Luminous Numinis shielded on all sides Taken to dark regions unknown unseen by eyes Brainwashed cornered Captive memory gone Stood her ground as Death stared her down Lured to the river hard cold fast water slid past “How Can I .... You, I Love You”, Death asked Brutalized left for dead her sentence repealed Death needed permission the plan revealed Passed back through the portal unscratched Delivered home safe to Divine Love at last
