Mightier than a Sword

Hello dear reader

It has been quite some time since I have written anything meaningful or worth publishing. I really have not been feeling it. My muse disappeared. I'm not bold enough to say it has returned, but I am really proud of this poem, and what it means to me. Please enjoy, and try figure out who (or what) I am writing to (or about).

My eyes fill

with tears of joy,

for I see you

for the first time

in a long time.

My heart beats

just a little faster,

knowing that I

am holding you

once again.

I don't want to

let go,

I pray my eyes

do not deceive.

A light caress,

my fingers find

inspiration, drawn

by the beauty of

this canvas before me.

My mind is alive,

I see your life's blood

swirling in patterns

I never knew

existed.

In a moment of

revelation,

I feel your breath

on my soul.

We belong together.

I promise to never break

this embrace.

In the face of temptation,

I will reveal

that you truly are

mightier

than a sword.
