He and He Alone Can Set Me Free

This poem is dedicated to my best friends Cari.

I am loved by him.

Him and him alone.

He who makes my hidden heart 

Beat upon its cage 

Like a bird trying desperately to escape

So that it may one again

Soar the skies its has so often seen in its memories.

As it rams at its oppression

My love watches me

Watches me with all my flaws

With all my doubt

In all my pain and suffering

And with those eyes

Those eyes that don't see my  face, but my mind

Not my breast, but my heart

Not my body, but my soul

With his eyes, those pure untainted eyes

He melts the metal that contains my heart

His passion ignites the flame that powers it

It takes flight

A weight is lifted and i can breathe

I can breathe in his kindness

I drink in his voice

So smooth like glass yet warm like June

My heart looks down at me

And soars higher and higher

Up where reality cannot reach it

Up where it is no longer bound by time

It has no restraints

It's wings spread and it is free

And its all because he looked at me

And because he loved me

And because i am loved by someone like him

Him and him alone.

There is a hint of sadness in this piece that I cannot explain and yet feel it there all the same.
Lovely. It evokes emotion instead of just being a mustering of dead words.
Very good write.
