Love Has Wings

Suurin was nervous as he delicately picked up the calligraphy brush set up in front of him in his husband's office but with a long slow breath to break the silence he began to write his poem.

I'm not all out of hope yet even though

One bruise may break me

With your fortitude towards this heart of mine

I hear that it's easy to hate you but I can't help but love you and your light that burns me so deep

It's hard to get release here in your blue shadow

Where you spend your heart's time

Believing all your past's lies

And it makes me sad for that heart of yours

And it makes me mad at you which makes me melt to pieces when I'm held by your eyes

And then I despise that I'm

broken

For loving what you refuse to show me

And perhaps I am the fool that you say I am but perhaps its you who mistook my kindness to your hurt for weakness

But I know I don't have to lie to keep the dream of us alive

For my heart's truth is what I have known from the moment your hand touched mine

That the darkness may be deep

You drew me in like a moth to your flame

The fire I see in your eyes

 shines too bright for you to hide from me

I see it

I see the real you

Even through your words pierce straight through my chest just like a thread goes through a needle

I know the you that you yourself refuses to believe in

And I wish that what little hope I do still have will endure the heartache

All through this journey called life 

knowing you are in there somewhere

Far away from my touch

But as you bury yourself

in great misery

I fear to lose this spark life that i've found in your eyes only when you let your mask fall away

I wish that one of these nights you could at last tell me what it's like to no longer fear your love for me

But still here you are 

Eroding like a river stone

A porous husk of yourself

Until you grind yourself away

into the deep river of pain

Pale

 Listless 

And frozen

No matter how much I tell you that locking your heart away in a blackened silence won't bring our heart's peace

For it is as I have told you on these cold nights

This love that we share doesn't need perfection

 It simply needs you and I

Until either this hope of mine turns to dust in the winds 

Or you finally set yourself free from your chains that you keep around your shattered soul

Even if those shatters cut

I promise I won't leave you all alone

You and I are both broken 

And we both need to share this light

The light I see in your eyes

The light of love's way!

He then rolled up the paper and placed it next to his husband's sword then left to wait for him at the Pavilion.
