tears

are mere whispers

of a quieter form

of such devout understanding

and in my old sorrows

I wished I could have heard

even yours flow

empathy now

stumbles about

as if blinded

to fall quite blessedly

under the heading

marked as

*their humble appeal

a modest plea of sorts

posed to the two hurting hearts

involved

hear the cries of the pain

each shared sob asks

address such innocent demand

make right

the two great wrongs

that have burdened the soul

the age old ache rejoices

in such incredibly lovely shock

with the latest news of such a

huge return

on the heart's investment

change

has once again

turned the tide

bidding two hearts

a renewed introduction

such love wells up and UP

where once it was only condemned

to be damned up in the heart

and

stand forever

stooped over

cowering

stagnant

useless

and scared

afraid for you

afraid for me

but always there

faithful and constant

all knowing and accepting

in its gentle perfect gift

so

thank you

for accepting

my thrown down gauntlet

even though I didn't know

at the time thats what it was

but such spontaneous action

enabled us both

to languish once again

in the warm enveloping waters

of such pure, undisturbed love

now

forever

to this sweet all encompassing place

allow us always to return and drink

uninterrupted

for as long as its needed

but quintessentially

together

Does this give you any idea at all

just how so very much more I love you

now

all lovers in the physical sense

could never come close to what we

have found

unless

they could know the indescribable joy

of trading places for even a moment

with the two of us..............
