True Love

Below the rising highlands
In a glade of emerald green
Surrounded by ancient oaks entwined
Where the stars shine
And moonlight ripples over rustling leaves
A candle flickers
As two shadowy forms weave in intricate patterns
Gliding upon the hands of the evening breeze
They drift in shared solitude
The haunting melody of a love song barely whispers still
But on they dance
Enraptured in each others glinting eyes
That sparkle in the moonlight
Like a diamond in the candlelight
All is lost in that single moment
For all enternity
Souls combined.
The endless symphony
As tears fall like raindrops
Alone as she stands with arms upraised
Like a tortured soul she years
A pining so deep
The flickering candle is no more
The thin trail of smoke around her arms do curl
A whispy form before her stands one moment pain the next joy one moment isolation the next companionship
Swelling and gathering like the shattering of glass the smokey strands dissipitate
Before her stands her One True Love
Her comfort and joy
Like the rising sun at dawn
The warmth of joy encompasses her
And as the snow melts in the golden sun
So does her heart begin to warm
While her soul begins to take flight
A broken promise is no more
Her longing is no more.
Together they shall be for all eternity
For nothing binds stronger than-
True Love.
No shackles or heartbreak
Laughter instead of tears
A luaghter like silver chimes
Ringing forth the tale of True Love.
And when you ask: "What do you have?"
They'll answer you in harmony: True Love.
