…I have heard you calling me

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 strayed
you have always been my love, my passion
and I know for you, that joy is found in me
I have caught your dreams
and you have captured mine
as they have come cascading down to thee
these flames of love
burning like a funeral pyre
turning the last of our old selves to ashes
so all that remains
buried amongst the embers of our past
is you, my beloved and me
lost in each other, in our heart’s abyss
where we dare to dream and dare to love
to depths that will endure eternally
