A Love Poem...With a Difference

As you rest in my arms, close to my heart,
I wish that for eternity we may never break apart.
Through proximity our bodies and souls intertwine,
Through you I speak, through you I shine.

For when I hold you, glorious solace I find,
Pain vanquished, thrown out of my mind.
Anxiety and desolation that stripped me bare,
When beside you I need no longer fear.

In my arms you weep,
In my arms you laugh,
In my arms you shout,
In my arms you sing.

Yet it is not you but I,
who in truth laugh, shout and cry.
Through your taut strings I effuse,
Translate my thoughts into moody blues.

Time passes, the hours fly,
Soon it's time to say goodbye.
Until we meet again tomorrow,
To be reconsumed by bitterness and sorrow.
