Two Hearts Become One

A poem written for me and my girlfriend. Enjoy.

The heavens pour down as the rider races

Heart Yearning to see his love

The lightining crashes over head lighting up th4e night

The horses rerror pusshes him onward

 

Trees speed by and vanish into the drakness

Lost in the downpour of the night

The trees part to reveal a meadow

And there she is

 

A red dress stuck to her legs, her body

Her hair hanging down dripping in her face

The lightning flashing in her eyes, intensifying her look of love

Taking his breathe away

 

He pulls the horse to a stop

Jumping from the saddle he runs to her

She opens her arms embracing him as thier lips meet

The rain pouring around them

 

Hand in hand they run back

Back to the wild eyed horse

He jumps on pulling her .. him

The horse rushes on, for tonight is the night

 

 The cries of thier trackers follow close

Coming from behind and ahead the rain swirling the voices around hiding thier source

She hugs him to herself hoping and praying with all her heart

For God must be on thier side tonight

 

The church comes into sight

The pastor waiting at the door hurrying them onward

The rush inside to kneel beneath the cross

Baring the door against thier pursures

 

Man and wife they become beneath the cross

No other witnesses besides the horse

And a few puddles of water

Thier long wait over, her father no longer able to interfere

 

The run through the back door, thier pursures still in the front

Slipping through the night into the safety

With the wild eyed horse full of terror and fright

To love now and forever
