Fallen Love

He was lost in this world of shame. Broken by the reality seen in his eyes. Nothing to bring back what was already taken away, he cried. Emptiness setting into his heart. All meaning for reasons explained calling home. This man of grief set out to destroy what was made to be the end of his life. Struggles were upon him, solitude quite clear. Shadows held onto his heart, as his life slowly drifted from view. Once in his life he wanted to just feel what he could see others have tasted, Love. Angels falling from heaven to reach out for the weak. Everything sorrowful now. That was when she opened his eyes.



On a glass raft in crying waters,

her tears carried him back home.

Songs of desire playing strong,

brightness finding her way.

As they came together he found,

what was so lost in his heart long ago.

Tested by the fears now undone,

realizing what love always was.

Her smile kept him closer than death,

flames of passion yearning lust.

Forged to see who he was,

she gave him what was left of her heart.

So weak was her rhythm inside,

beating for his touch crying man.

Able to find in his eyes,

the reason she fell so far from life.

Her kiss gave to him a way to find,

the way back to her arms where he fell.

Kissed by pain to figure out love,

on this river where they are one.



From the heavens she watched as his life faded away. Against the gods she was ready to reach out for him again. Wings of hope burning away as she fell. There was nothing that could break the fall she was about to face. Looking down to find his light. So dark was his heart, so lost was his way. In all of the pain he had faced, she knew he couldn’t remember. Her fall forsaken to death. Each moment so hard as she died. To his pain she destined to change, with her love she’d make him remember. Loneliness crying from her soul. Emptiness like she was never meant to understand. Now in his eyes she can see why, his love never left her heart.
