The Awakening Foretold

One day, my dear, we will see each other again

And our eyes will lock again

And we will see each other again

And I wonder if I’ll cry

Or if my eyes will well with uncried tears

If I’ll ask you with words

If I’ll ask with my heart

As I see your soul’s suffering mirroring mine:

“May I cry now?

Have I permission yet?”

I wonder if we’ll cry together,

If we’ll speak no words

If your heart and lonely pain

Will allow you to cross the room

To ignore the world’s wondering

To lose yourself in my embrace.

A gem…

My dear…

Your gem…

Is buried sometimes,

Is revealed sometimes,

Is no less valuable when you find it easily,

Is sometimes more valuable and rare when plucked with no effort

Thor’s hammer held by one with just heart,

Arthur’s sword unsheathed by a just hand,

Makes no less honorable the man who can hold so easily.

That I give myself to you, my dear,

Does neither devalue you, nor me.

One day, you will wake up, my dear.

One day, you will know how much I care.

One day, you will wake from your dreaming alone;

One day, you will find yourself without me.

I wonder:

Will it come as a shock?

Will you gasp and start,

The weight of years gone by hitting you

As that rod jammed into me?

Will you feel the pain as I did,

Will you waver breathlessly just the same,

Knowing suddenly what you did to me, to us,

What time lost in years between?

And when you wake…

Let it be with me.

Let me take your hand and release, rebuild with me…

I will be your mistress

Your wife

Your everything…

My love

My darling

My soul mate

My divine torturer

My sacred lover

My life

My everything.
