And Then There Was You

And Then There Was You
7th April ~ 14th April 07

Back then.
Dimly aware of my surroundings,
Cursing the day for its torture,
Filling my lungs with the air of life,
Day becomes night and night becomes day,
And I’m still a part of the world.

Filling my time with empty reasons,
Shedding my thoughts to the ignorant accumulation,
Spiralling controless from my ambitions and aspirations,
That’s if any care to trespass within my over analysing mind,
And the Earth still spins at its trudging pace.

Then a flicker of a spark of an imaginative beacon,
Blinks through the thickness of an atmospheric pressure,
It stirs within me a memory? Or a dream? Or hope?
Then it’s snuffed out instantaneously as my heart skips a beat,
And I linger in the solitude of suspended animation.

Robotic creations and manipulative illusions,
Are carried away in everyday awakness,
Live for the life that we must treasure in out nightmares,
Look for the brighter gem that’s hidden beneath the stones,
There will be again a spark of recognition, I have seen it.

Challenge darker dreams to a positive persona,
A spark of hope arises through the murky foggy mass,
You rose from the darkness like an illuminating ray of hope,
Dispersing with your aura the shadows and the fear,
Seeing is believing, although the eyes could be deceived,
Feeling is the essence of the spirit more instinctively believed,
Every pore on my body knows you; I’ve seen you in my dreams,
Before I drew my first breath of air I held you in my arms,
Let me hear again your soothing tones, your hypnotic musical rhythm,
Calm me, heal me, warm my soul, and thaw my frozen heart,
My inner self recognised what my moral mind dared not admit, I love you.

Although adjusting you seemed to be well adjusted in your self worth,
My vision once impaired is now sheer crystal clarity,
Your chocolate eye of purity and invitational content,
Enticed me to soften my walls for you, to tear them down at your readiness,
I want to demolish all my armours and barbs for you,
I no longer need their stifling choking and blinding protection.

My heart is now enveloped in a fresh encasement, joy,
All these smiles and laughs and tears are of contentment,
You’ve attached to me such gifts as tenderness, warmth and forgiveness,
Leading to an unimaginable, insurmountable strength of love,
All this you do with but a look in your eyes,

A smile upon your mouth and a kiss upon your lips
And with the gentle yet animalistic longing of your body.
I am now acutely aware of the close proximity of objects around me,
Loving the day now for awakening me to this pleasure,
Filling my lungs each breath with the regenerating oxygen of life,
Sensing, enjoying and just being part of the day,
When day turns into night and night then turns into day,
I thrill with the ever changing ever beautiful moments it brings.

Now I see the essential contributions in my environment,
Where before I saw only two dimensional intrusions,
Contending for my ever waning attention.

You keep at bay the fear,
The loneliness and darkness no longer reside within my heart,
You keep away real anger, desperation and all negativity,
Because you brought me love and there is no place for anything else,
You are embedded and moulded to me,
From the inside out, growing as I do,
Love fills my heart and it bears your name,
There is no room for any man except you,
Believe it for it is the bare naked truth.
