you found me …
Sidestepping thorny shards on the pathways of my life,
rambling between alleyways of splintered glass,
slipping in the deep night of lonely despair,
shattering this soul,
this heart of mine, wanting to only be part of a whole.
You found me, torn on the cold frigid ground, you picked me up when fragments of hope were nowhere to be found,
your gentle love embraced me, as we stood shoulder to shoulder,
your warmth an exquisite cocoon, enveloping me, your caresses unshackling the knots, setting me free.
We loved each other with a passion unrestrained, you bathed me in the cool waters of a renewed life, you healed the wounds cleaved by that old lonesome knife,
our famished hearts feasted on a shared love, discarding the veneer of sight, our togetherness felt deep within our beings, unfettered from the chains that once suffocated us so tight.
Yes, you found me, you picked me up when all hope had fled, you loved me when I lay famished, naked, as my very sense of self I had shed.
Yes, you raised me, you embraced me as only the truest love can, you steered me away from the maelstrom, as we together lay in each others arms, beneath our solitary palm tree, on the soft gentle sand,
Yes, you saved me, you opened my eyes to behold the new dawn’s light, and we held each other with all of our love’s might.
Today, decades down the path, we still revisit our solitary palm, basking in its shade, your head resting on my chest, on our beach of talcum sand,
yes, today, decades down the path, we still walk together, shoulder to shoulder,
into the sunset,
hand in hand …
