As promised in yesterdays post; I am going to include a love poem describing the final lesson we can learn from a failed relationship. For all my long time readers you may find yourselves shocked, because this is one of the only non-dark love poems I have written. I am a bit out of my element here, I hope it translates well, and that it will paint the perfect picture from yesterdays post.
I held a light
For the very first time in my life
Illuminating a world of heavenly sights
Sights never seen in a life of perpetuated night
When I held this light
I noticed a twinkle in my eye
I felt butterflies give life to a beating heart
A first in my life
You gave me this breathtaking gift
I experienced how it felt to be loved
Through your eyes, I met the man I could never become
Blossoming feelings of blissful self-worth
Powerful enough to wash away the stains, of a life of pain
A first in my life
Your light opened many gifts
A lifetime worth of Christmas lists
Showing me I am more than just a broken doll
Your essence, was proof that angels exist
The first time I felt your angelic lips
I wished for time to stop instead of end
A first in my life
The happiest of my life
Twenty six years of living in the dark
Made me naïve of your light
The void of night, resents receding to the light
Machiavellian strategy in hand
That void of night patiently waits
For me to lose your gift of light
An unavoidable first in my life
To this day I still don’t know how or why I let you go
Extinguishing the light
Did complacency, give way to delusions
If I was worthy to feel an angels embrace
Why was I swallowed up by the familiar night?
Forever gifted with shadows regret
There are times I remember how things looked in the light
All those heavenly sights
The flutter of butterfly wings, and a beating heart
My reflection in your eyes, seeing the good inside
To know exceptionally beautiful angels exist
To give goodnight kisses with their heavenly lips
This is when my smile can be seen in the night
Memories and dreams are all that remain
During my brief stay in the light of day
Remembering your light
All the firsts in my life
Forever grateful
To experience what life can be like
When you add something so simple
As genuine light

Thank you for reading a poem which is out of my comfort zone. I hope everyone out there has either found or one day will find their genuine light.
