She came, a scent upon the air,
Her lips, like honey, pure and rare
A sweetness that the world had lost,
Now found in her—at any cost.
Her eyes, twin flames in velvet night,
Winked, and my soul took sudden flight
A bird unbound, a heart unchained,
To seek the love that once remained.
Her gaze, a magnet, quiet, deep,
Drew forth the secrets I would keep,
It pulled my heart, a trembling thread,
And in its path, my soul was led.
In every glance, a universe,
A love unspoken, soft, immersed,
She tore my heart to fragile strips
Each one a kiss upon her lips.
I gave her all, yet nothing showed,
A path of thorns, where roses flowed
For in her eyes, the fire grew,
A blaze that burned the old me through.
The fire of love, the fire of pain,
The fire that breaks, yet makes again.
She took the pieces, scattered wide,
Each one a prayer, each one a guide,
Her hands, like angels, softly pulled
My broken heart, and made it whole.
In her, I found the sacred flame,
In her, my soul was known by name.
And though I wander, lost and free,
Her gaze will call, and there I’ll be
A lover bound by her sweet grace,
Forever lost in her embrace.
