The Cure

Your smile

Brighter than the spring sun

Radiant and aglow with life

It spreads across your serene countenance

Breathtaking, other worldly

A tinge of rose touches your cheeks

Beautiful, awe-inspiring

Enough to tug at me inside

Enough for me to take the risk

Your hands

Empty yet promising

An image of assurance

Comfort in the harsh world that engulfs my being

Along with the coldness of the losses it left

It ebbs away replaced with your warmth

Your slender fingers curl, intertwining with mine

Enough to stir life in me

Enough for me to take the risk

Your embrace

It shrouds the ice that surrounds me

Melting the cold

With a mere step closer

Fear thaws out through the tips of my toes

Anxiety falls through a forgotten void

Your arms envelope me in their tenderness

Enough to break down the walls

Enough for me to take the risk

Your lips

Magic against mine

Proof of a miracle though I never believed

Desire burning through my core

It opened the eyes that lay dormant on the inside

The numbness recedes

Once more I feel

Enough to make me see

Enough for me to take the risk

Your heart

It beats

Alive with vigor, of love, of life itself

Music to my ears

A lullaby to a lost and grieving soul

Spreading love on it way through my being

Infecting me with life

Enough to revive my dead heart

Enough for me to take the risk

Your soul

Pure and kind

Washing away the darkness in me

It shone, guiding me through

You redeemed mine

Lost long ago in a sea of misery

Enough to make me realize

What I’ve been missing all this time

Enough for me to take the risk

Again.
