Title: With An Exuberant Embrace
Writer: Paul V. Campos

Thinking of you keeps me
entranced in a passionate fantasy
with desires burning deep
and ceaseless emotions held at bay
the discernment of knowing
that unless all inhibitions subside
my dreams would not prosper
and in my head they will stay
I once thought I was forever cursed
to walk this earth alone
adrift through time searching
for radiance in an aura of unlight
a veracious effigy of a fallen angel
abeyant in a veil of clouds
though vigilant to the world below
has no apparent gift of sight
Forged with the same steel
as the sword sworn to protect it
my heart was far emptier
than the spurious smile on my face
you pierced this impervious fortress
armed only with a promise
I will gallantly grasp our relationship
with an exuberant embrace
Until I first endured the frigid road
that led me to your presence
I may never have felt your warmth
that I cherish and faithfully respect
an inseparable union will enhance
the very lives we aspire to fulfill
creating elegant memories
upon which we can one day reflect
As I now stand steadfast
against the immeasurable distance
the dense fog once before me
is merely an apparition of a mist
my soulless passages of the past
have become a vehement quest
your undying love bestows me hope
and the strength to persist
