You are like a cool breeze that blew off my despair,
when my own lies and fears left my lungs out of air.
Your gruffy voice a stone slashing through thick marred flesh
of my inner demons, and provides me some space.
The honey of your words pours relief in my skull,
for echoes in my heart a pain that leaves it dull.
Your support is a sword whose blade glows like fire
and casts shadows away when my mind is a blur.
With time you've found your way through the pitch black cave where
my heart waited for death, drown in angst and nightmares.
Your compassion's a clay that covers my life scars;
though they will never heal cause where I go they are.
Despite all this sickness and fury I am fueled
with glimpses of true joy and ghosts of dreams fulfilled.
Through shared experience I feel like I can draw
the map of a life I will start when I let go
of burning shackles time buried under my skin
poisonous vines that dread the hope that grows within.
You planted on my path seeds of raging power
and now I see the roots of what I call shelter.
You gave me the courage but also the patience
with which I must come to terms to find my balance.
Cloudy moods can't extinguish the passion that flows
through you who breathes art ; and won't release its claws
around these gifted eyes and hands that craft new worlds
planets, stories, languages and all this disturbs
the silent and dusty shelves of my fragile bones
soon music will shake my ribcage with sparkling tones.
You get me and beyond thoughts there is so much more
for like kindred spirits, we mirror our own cores
and our true colours may contrast like night and day,
we met halfway and stars wrote tales of whispered prays
that Dragon, Owl and Cat and their fellow the Fox
will never drift apart or provoke dire odds.
