My Beloved
My beloved
I have heard you calling me
Calling me to you
From ancient times
Candles burning all the way
Carving a path of light
That I might find you
No matter where I have strayed
You have always been my love
I have caught your dreams
And you have captured mine
As they have come
Cascading down to thee
These flames of love
They burn like a funeral pyre
Turning the last of our old selves
To ashes
And all that remains
Buried amongst the embers
Of our past
Is you, my beloved, and me
Lost in each other
In our hearts’ abyss
Where we dare to dream
And dare to love
To depths that will endure
Eternally
