strangely close
that's what we are
fully unbound and
ungagged
alas
we take tempers far
I trust you
with
my very next breath
you hold a market share
in all my good intentions
no highway to hell
though
with you do I pave
sworn to allegiance
my secrets
you always save
I look to you for guidance
as silly to you as that sounds
and you in turn do so with me
we both stand as beacons
for the others lift
its your passion and wide eyed
innocence I long to dilute
with but the mix of my own
unique blend
of feminineness
I represent goodness and
generosity I am sure to your
mind's eye
a gentle reminder that
true intimacy can be
so very real
you who stands in a place so
battered and conflicted
I must appear to you so lovingly simple
not entirely unlike
that of a tender flower's blooming
on the plains
of a destroyed battlefield
all is not lost
my friend
never forget
I stand here before you to attest
your soul is safe
it always has been
and I caress it
almost daily
with my own
spirit's hands...........................

Make the title shorter!
Brilliant poem though.
