Hide and Seek

Hide-and-Seek

I used hide from life,
Until you came and freed me,
From my cage of solitude in,
Which was my home in too many ways,
Too many years I have been without your love.

Hate was only home,
In a world where love reigned,
Blind to the beauty of darkness,
You opened my eyes to tell me,
"What are you missing?" love had me then,
For your eyes bored into my soul: complete.

Stunned in silence,
I stood: love prevailed,
No longer alone: whole,
I am who I am for you,
You are all that matters to me,
I have learned how to love another,
For you all is possible in this life.

For me naught,
For my soul nay,
For my mind nothing,
My heart has lost purpose,
In normal settings: perish,
With you I am finally live,
For you I have decided to live,
For our love I have begun to find life.

My love,
Hide-and-seek,
Understand this,
Is a deadly game,
Pulls me in: pulls us in,
The light is far too strong here,
We've decided to elope,
Together we are one and the same,
For our ultimate union approaches.

Love,
Hatred,
Blights have been,
Have died inside,
Have seen their true end,
For your love keeps me close,
Your kindness binds me to you,
Though I have no wish to escape,
Here is my new home: I belong here,
You are my darkness in this bright blinding light.
