Tides of the Enigma

My love calls out

like a lighthouse, without a ship at sea;

yet I know it will be,

before I see.

I’ll cast visions,

creating chemistry

fission or fusion

purging confusion;

producing a love

greater than the sum of its parts.

Will you be as I’ve seen?

Laced in grace and intention,

eyes of luminous dimension

sparkling specks,

a guiding gaze lighting wise ways;

down to earth, divinely made.

I’ve come to see, how you’ll be;

full of patience,

not in a hurry

a heart unweighted by worry;

brimming with passion

and zeal for life,

confident and capable

of dealing with strife –

And me

I’m jaded, you see,

dark and damaged like a fallen star;

no matter who you are,

you’ll see my past as afar 

forgiving my scars;

shelving my memoir

in a bookcase built

by mercy,

knowing how completely

my iniquities hurt me.

I’ve come to see what you’ll be;

not a ship at sea,

but a lighthouse of your own.
