Love In Abstract

Love In Abstract - The Beginning



Out of the darkness I fell, forward with a staggering gait

Into the blue

Into the light

Gazing at the wall before me

Panicked at the thought of a lock I couldn't pick

The foothold I wouldn't find

Stressing the need for a line I shouldn't cross

In case I was blind 

Out of the darkness I fell



Love in Abstract - The Middle



Fingers entwined and promises made on a snowy day

Not of marriage

No, not of marriage

But of death 

Said in jest

Just in case

But a promise all the same

I will be yours and you will be mine



Love In Abstract - The Commitment



In the spring, in a well lit room you stood close, plucking my heart from beneath my ribs

Carefully

Easily

Holding it in your hands like a well worn timepiece

It's beat keeping time with yours

That's what I remember 


In the summer you brought it back to me, laying it down between us

Carefully

With trepidation 

Watching me, watching you

Waiting for the break

Waiting for the return to its rightful place

Its rightful place was always you





Love in the abstract - The Last Chapter


365 Days

Since

You gave yourself to me

With a word


365 Days

My Hand

Always in your hand 

Yours in mine


365 Days

We Cried

Shoulder to shoulder

Drying each other's tears


365th Day

I watched 

While you left in one breath

Without fear, you were gone
