Never did it touch...

It was for my friend...

The name of love never did touch my lips, all beauty and sweetness it held was lost on me. My soul was dark and my heart was locked. Away from this world and all the cruel happenings we call reality.

My arms loosely at my sides as I looked over an edge above the vastness of eternity. A single step and freedom would be mine, when a sight caught these weary eyes. Beauty in a form so true, I could not look away.

You made my soul feel anew and my bones begged to be enveloped in a loving embrace. It was then when I realized the one thing I thought lost through time was there. My eyes never beheld something so lovely, so perfect and untainted.

A soul as dark as mine found a door, a portal…a gate to that which I would never let pass my hallowed lips. Now it is all I think of, all I speak of. Love…and my heart. For you are one and the same.

Thanks, I was a little upset when my darling thought it was...well, one dimensional. Oh well, I really like it. Probably one of the few I did like of mine.

This poem sounds like it was written by a poet. In other words, it is truly wonderful! Every word you put into this poem shows some sort of emotion, and by the second line I was caught. The way you described how it was before,

"The name of love never did touch my lips, all beauty and sweetness it held was lost on me. My soul was dark and my heart was locked. Away from this world and all the cruel happenings we call reality. "

was remarkable. It made me have to think about things, and not just slightly ponder, but really try to figure them out. How it felt before love came, and it would feel to have your heart locked away. And the 'cruel happenings we call reality,' was my favorite line, because I've never read someone describing reality so well. When "beauty in a form so true," was spotted, I felt saved, although I knew it was not me. The way you showed the change from alone to finding love was so believable. Great job on this poem, it's beautiful.
