Tides of the Enigma

I’ve found peace in solitude

fortitude in friendship

and union with my Creator.

I no longer need another;

But there’s something about you

beckoning at the walls

climbing the castle

I’ve kept so closely guarded;

sieging my soul, signaling my surrender

without even ascending the stairs.

Could you love me if you knew

all that I’ve been through?

Would you judge me for

the life I’ve left behind?

I’ve been guilty and filthy –

wayward and depraved;

you deserve more than

a dead demon decayed.

But, in this season of renewal

my eye sees a jewel

and seeks to seize a sea

of boundless unbending love;

Is it you?

I’ve patented patience

to my heart’s constitution,

in case my feelings are an illusion;

I’ve willingly walked in delusions

so I’ll await a sign

that these affections are divine

that love was meant to be

not a fictitious reality,

but a future to be realized.
