We Knew No Fear

You found me on the most bitter cold day of the year.

Head throbbing, I blinked five times to see you.

Focus, but my stomach is in knots, I stumble.

Your electricity picked me up from the pavement,

Shaking, I took a breath and found that the air, the world, it was all you.

I held your eyes with mine and elated I wept.

You were an apparition, a ghost of a most alluring dream sent to me.

I knew you once before and under the sun we blinded all who dared look.

Envy did not exist before we came together.

Herbs and angels manifested simply for us.

I held your hand to my chest and adored you.

The wind whirled, lifting colors, floating we knew no fear.

The incarnation that was sacred, lacking in reticence.

I was there to hold your hand as the sun set simply so I would be forced to sleep.

For it's true, I couldn't keep my eyes off of you and even in the darkness I knew every line of your face.

My eyes closed, peace abound, sighing I slumbered.

The mist has fallen but I feel your breath on my nape.

You are immortal, my eyes failed to see what my soul was trying to reveal.

I still feel the familiar ache, my spirit pulls from my skin desperate to find you.

To be whole, to be free.
