Flightless, by Faith Subscribe to rss feed for <font color=crimson>Faith

You are alone--
lonely--
with a loveliness
that remains
hidden
from the world.

A beauty
that remains
behind 
your eyes.

Let me gather you--
cold and distant,
beautiful--
into myarms
until you remember
sensations lost.

As the tingling
begins
in fingertips
and toes;
warmth returning
as love drenches
your soul.

The cadence
of a fluttering heartbeat
of breath
in asphixiated lungs.

Let me hold you--
broken wings,
flightless--
close,
wounds healing.

Eyes locked
with mine--
soul mended--
strength returns
and fills you.

You are not perfect,
but you
must soar.

While I
wait alone
for you to find
your way
back
to me.
