From Dreams to Reality

Born into a dark world
Of hate, lies and impurity.
A broken childhood,
How could hope even by possible?

Coming to me in a rare dream,
My parched eyes behold first light.
You step out of the light with illustrious wings,
Taking my hand and guiding me to a rebirth.

A glint of portentous love for you begins,
Hiding in the recesses of my heart,
Until we could meet again.

Time had passed, and the barriers
Put up by my heart
To protect me from the encroaching darkness
Began to crumble.

Beaten down,
All hope to retain purity had nearly been lost.
With no more protection,
All I could do was hold myself
And allow my empty tears to fall.

Then softly flowering through darkness to me,
Dispersing every danger that could accost.
You took me in your arms,
And cleansed my face of the
Sorrowful droplets.

Risen from the depths of my heart
My dormant love for you returned once more.
This time though,
It had become stronger and brighter,
And to be forever yours.

Returning the warmth given to me,
I turn to you to look into those
Deep blue pools that are your eyes-
The silent remembrance from a divine dream.

Wrapping my cloak of love around us,
I hold you ever close.
Forgotten honest words escape my mouth
Softly touching your delicate ears,
"I love you~"

Gliding a hand through your silken hair,
We hold an eternal gaze.
Bringing you closer once more,
A single, soft, kiss,
Is a small redress for all you've given for me,
And to bind our eternal love.
