To You

In the beginning if this pain were known to me, I would have been happy to do without you. But now, I know, I would rip my heart apart again and again to feel the fullness of warmth you lighted upon me, if just for a moment. Like a sun-storm of brilliant rapturous joy, Arcing and exploding outward, You are luminous. And I feel the shade’s cold now. We are not One in the deep deep anymore. It makes me shiver a sob sometimes. Only ‘til death ...only ‘til death. “Though lovers be lost, love will not. And death shall hold no dominion.” Dylan Thomas.
