A pulse quivering
beneath translucent skin
I feel my heart waver
I claw at the steel
on the edges of my sanity

My soul is aching
My heart vacant
forever wandering the desolate waste
of a solitary existence
forever creating the fantasies of love and companionship
to fill the void I must forever tread

Then an illuminating glow
splinters this grotesque nightmare
unchained from shackles of my own fabrication

Following the aurora
My heart ablaze with passionate love
the feeling euphoric
enraptured by beauty and brilliance

Such exquisiteness is unparalleled
The light
and beauty
and I
combine in harmony.........

and I am liberated.
