immortality

little emotions arise tender in their presentation
I take them into my sacredness
flavors to my soul

gentle sadness I cradle
loving sorrow I embrace
melancholy I adore
in my hope they coalesce

seeking honesty
alone on the pursuit
each of us to discover in time

a divine passage in mortal breaths
evolving in loveliness
a woman shines in her moments of vulnerability

it hurts and I keen
with a view of my heart
immortality has gathered my stars to her bosom
my tears chosen as my crown

I wear my solemn vow with honor
beauty beheld
