Gllimpses

A Poem by Anna Marie

These days being spent catching glimpses of the past 
Eternity has been running through my mind like sand in a storm
I know I've known you every moment before i was born
Every door that opened only to shut before me was leading me
This life has been a battle to keep from being devoured by pain
I cast out a plea into the universe, please let him find me or i live in vain
There came a beacon dull but steady, pulse strong and unwaivering  
Scars of my past begin to scream, they bleed like dying leeches never to let go
The chains of past cling and drag behind me pulling so desperately to keep me still
The doubt, fear, anguish, and pain feed like starving animals of the wild on my heart
Will i ever break free from these things that burden and consume my being
My answered call too has leeches, chains , and cloudy thoughts-does he see me?
Moments i find a break in the storm where i can find peace and comfort in his arms 
I feel my body tremble as im introduced to a link long misplaced from my existence 
The rhythm in my heart tells me  as i approach this beacon that behind it a steel door awaits
The key he wears around his neck protected and guarded by monsters that hold him in his past
it is my task to tame his monsters so i may reach, reach to claim the key that no doubt belongs to me 
The key will set me free -the key opens the door behind his heart-this key we forged together long ago 
Glimpses, glimpses of the past thats all that he lets by the monsters of his keep 
With every passing moment my own despots slowly lose their grip and i shake them off 
I hold my staff firmly in my grasp, i strike it down and the chains break way i see the beacon more clearly 
The shadows are almost all encompassing around him could i ever cast my own light bright enough for him to see
Does he see ive come for him it is not just he who came for me- longing for the moment he wont let me be 
Monsters come out to play each time he catches glimpses, glimpses of me
