You and Me

I beheld your subliming light,
so enchanting that it blinded my bloodshot-darkened eyes,
leaving me inexorably perplexed.
Your being bathed in stars and rapture,
snatched a smirk from my face, from my soul,
which has been for so many years, a slave,
chained to a cold earthly prison, which corrupts my mind,
and has provided me with such a heavy burden,
that all my being and soul bleed in pain, leaving nothing to gain.
Again I try yo fly away, but these abhorring feelings thwart my efforts,
bounding me to a deep void which has found its way to reside deeply inside my heart.
I behold your stare and all becomes calm and silent,
as I sense your unspoken words,
and an urge surfaces wildly,
hushing my fears, my grief,
and I become vulnerable as I question myself what is there to cry or to hope for.
You, so light, with doors open...
Me, bathed in tears, with broken wings...
