For the Abscence of Fear....

           
••••••••••••••            
           
More than mere arms outstretched...                          
 my love hangs in the stillness, tethering to my sanctuary within you.            
           
Giving what's bruised and broken...           
the aching bone and flesh,            
the doubting crimson vessel, and weathered marrow of soul.           
Restlessness and insecurities
laid before you,            
my hell collides with the beautiful solvent of your heaven.           
Nurtured in such warmth;           
like gentle rays of sun, ardor swallows what haunts...           
sealing the crevices of darkness,            
cleansing the crumbling decay.           
Like turpentine on the caress of acceptance, polishing what's tarnished...     
 renewal glides the surface of melancholy hues.           
           
For absence of fear, with arms forever outstretched;           
I'll remain...  
tethered tightly to my sanctuary within you.  
Mind and spirit unfettered  
at the altar of strength and forgiveness.
