Love

When love takes over, it has the power to ignite; it can rob you of your sight and make you lose your will to fight. When love takes over, it provided you with light throughout the night, fill you with the most poignancy to write and beautify your world to your delight. Love has taken over me, and I have succumbed to its devices. It has enamoured me, as I have paid its prices. This weekend has entranced me, as I danced within your arms. You are my knight in shining armour, and my soul's successful charmer. I was a snake until you played your enticing tune, blowing up my love as if it were a balloon. I am weakest when under your grip, as you are the only one equipped with the power to numb my lips. My soul is enchanted by your aura divine, even through my flawed design. This love is ethereal, as if it were from above. Your vessel empties into mine, purifying me like a dove. I kissed your lips so softly, as the breezes in the south of France. I held you so closely, as we slowly danced. You showed me Heaven in your eyes, as I witnessed the most breathtaking sunrise. You took my breath away, as you said those three words, that always make me sway. I am yours until the bitter end, until my soul is dispelled. I stood on the top of the highest mountain and yelled that you are the one that made love felt. It caressed me with its hands, as you showed me with your lips. It was like encountering the rarest eclipse. Your sun and my moon, dancing in the night; two bodies became one, as our love became so bright. You lulled me to sleep with your soft spoken words, opened my heart like most open drawers. My body is broken from years of misfortune, it is bent from all my torment and still, you come around to fill me with your scent. Your lullabies are my sole prize, the ones that strip away the layers of my disguise. No more walls for you to demolish, as they have all caved in. You more nails for you to polish, as you are where my life begins. I will always cherish your life, you are the avenger of my strife as I put away the knife that caused so much harm. Until the day I perish, you will have me in your arms. I have given it all to you, to love and beyond; shown you love in the highest degree, as you would delicately reciprocate and respond. I sought wisdom and found it in your mind; please do not let this depreciate, for this love is truly one of a kind.
