Said they,

the eternal

Quest of man is to seek.

The truth. The new.

The reason for our being,

perhaps.

Yet mine ended the day

I had all for myself,

Why seek another world,

When I have you.

Of lies and

of all things old

I cherish dearly

that single moment

you wiped the past clean

of demons that

waged littler wars

in my head and my body

ridden with reminders,

of wounds and scars.

You became the reason to

start afresh,

A chance

so criminally rare

Accorded to so few.

You are my truth.

You are my new.

Bigger purposes.

Greater conquest.

For power. Or fame.

In glory and in shame.

The world has seen

Them all.

But none come close

To finding one’s true self

That’s willingly lost

in another soul.

In life and death.

Together or apart

In you my love,

My capricious soul

sleeps deep,

in a peaceful rest.

All my losses and

all that I lost

dint' go in vain.

For the only battle

That mattered,

I won you.

To you I bow

To you I surrender

Truly.

Unconditionally.

This lifetime.

And all of next

To you I bequest.

Wide awake in your love

I sleep, I sleep

in a peaceful rest.
