Aching For You

This lingering ache is killing me as I await you,
longing for the epic day when you'll say "I do."
I want your comforting presence now, your arms around me
The scent of your cologne permeating time and memory as I see
Your delicious smile and beautiful eyes staring back into mine.
Too many times, I've felt my name's just a tease as I await the Divine
To make my deepest dreams and hopes reality,
You and I. Our children. Affectionate family.
I cannot fathom now why this had to be the perfect plan
Not when I hurt like this, unrelenting loneliness, attributed to lack of man.
I pray for you, have prayed for you, wondering if you ache as well
Just having you in my life won't make things swell.
Our relationship will have its problems like all couples.
I pray our unconditional love and patience will let us rise above our troubles.
How I ache for you!
Longing for the epic day when you'll say "I do."

Bemused

I sit and wonder what is happening to my heart
At night you fill my dreams and thoughts
Is this a facade or are my oneiric musings reality?
You will bring elation to someone even if you aren't meant for me

Victoriosa

Darkness went forth engulfing all that entered its mouth
Tumult, despair, and destruction followed
Wrath sent down its fury, blind to all the good before it
Its belly consumed, darkness turned inward yearning to crush the lives seized within

The light raged, slashing and avenging those held captive by darkness
Lives tumbled out of the Stygian abyss
Yet hope and encouragement were still blind, an effect of the shadow,
And so their help was stigmatized and feeble

Where will our help come from wondered those formerly confined

Though darkness had atrophied its victims, they would not merely relent to death

They fought as one collective, giving help where others were weak

Until hope and encouragement were healed and joined in the epic struggle unto victory
