LOVE

In the silence, I heard echoes of your voice,
Listening intimately, it was your breath, my choice,
Agony, a familiar companion I've known before,
Not by my choosing, but a burden I bore.

I've felt your pain, a mental gut-wrenching weight,
Not the one who grieves, but I contemplate,
Who's to blame in this emotional storm,
Holding sweaty palms, loving hands, so warm.

Beautiful rain falls before it pours,
In your vacant eyes, I find my shores,
Dearly beloved, under the innocent sky,
But wants and needs, we can't deny.

Enduringly, love knows no bounds,
As rivers weep and destiny surrounds,
Autumn's foliage falters, yet love remains,
In muddy waters, our depth sustains.

Together, let's dive into the unknown deep,
Before we sleep, alone, you'll never weep,
If you permit, let patron pardon your darkest ways,
Only if it pleases, in love's endless maze.

In fulfilling you, I find myself, and we gleam,
Beyond impossible dreams, in a shared dream,
A love that transcends what our eyes see,
In the boundless expanse of you and me.
