Only You...

They say

When He takes away something from you,

Then He returns it in a way

That no one can imagine.

Perhaps that’s what happened with me…

I was musing in solitude

When your beautiful smile

Mitigated my loneliness.

You arrived

Like a fresh blossom of the spring season

And spread mirth in the desert of my heart.

I was dead;

Your love rejuvenated my psyche.

I was enduring the eternal damnation of Tartarus;

You dragged me out

And brought me into the beautiful Elysium.

You not only gave meaning to my life,

You reinvigorated my veins with life-juice.

Time may pass,

Seasons may change;

Maybe we will not be together tomorrow.

What would remain but memories –

Memories of the moments spent together,

Memories of our consolidated laughter,

Memories of our sorrow & our grief…

But never again shall I ebb away

Into the arms of Thanatos;

Never!

Since you have become my Yggdrasil!
