#secondchance - Hello Poetry

To my former - For years now, my spirit lay asleep as it drifted through the abyss. I dreamt of you reaching for me through the pitch dark - Holding me, carrying my lifeless corpse. With the distant murmur of your voice as a beacon to drift me further along when the strength had left the muscles and bones. But it was only in sleep of which I would always wake. You appeared only as a vapor in my mind's eye, never in your physical form. Perhaps that's why my heart could never truly have you. A small piece of my bludgeoned heart will be yours to hold in this lifetime. I pray you hold onto it and keep it well. Until time no longer exists. To my reunited - You not only found me after years apart and away, You took my cold body - the blood almost frozen - and brought me up and out; From the depths to over the surface. While my eyes adjust to the blinding light previously unknown, while the heat melts the armor of ice from my skin - Your gaze, your touch, the warmth in your words Set a fire that doesn't destroy. It glows; like candles in a cathedral. Only our Maker knows the day when or if two shall become one, or whether we seal our hearts' sacred vows with true love's kiss. But until then, my heart has finally found a castle after years of imprisonment inside my own. Our spirits, together, have become one with the sky where we can now both live and thrive in tandem with the sun and rain clouds, and now can venture into infinity. Come what may, or what ultimately becomes of what potentially is blossoming. With the love seeping from my melting heart, Me
