I write this in hopes of a renewal
Of dreams that one can not see without eyes glistening to seek
Realities of the unforeseen destiny that awaits you and I.
Pleasantries are nothing without an effort from both parties.
I see you and all I’ve done.
I see how you gaze back at me with puppy like eyes
The wanton need to be held and caressed as if nothing else will fix the pain that begs to escape an  imprisoned heart.
Ribs of strong ivory chain you inside a darkened alley of fear
But it’s no prison at all when the gates have not refused the freedom in which you seek.
Tis I my dear who shall release you from the burden of long-lived longing.
To be in your sweet embrace is all I cherish.
