Within The Sanctum

One of the many poems inspired by my relationship with my boyfriend.

Within the sanctum
It is there I pray
Beg for release
Of the demons within a fray

Trapped in my bones
Hidden in my mind
These demons don't stay away
They are out day and night

Whispering
And tracing
Voices and aching spells
These monsters grab hold
Consume me
Gaining secrets to never tell

And all but one mercy
Have I ever been blessed so
Is the angel before me
With a glowing soul

He reaches far down
A hand to my heart
His lips kissing my thoughts
Every touch
Every word
Casting my darkness away
His magic
His sorcery
Is none from a book
Done in one day
When my heart he had took

And as I drown in his eyes
My demons drown too
Nothing left to haunt me
When his spirit is poured into my being
This angel
My lover
Is paradise unseeing

For heaven above shall envy
And hell below shall tempt to take
But this fire this perfection
Leaves no heart to break

Only do I ever beg
To see his darling face
Long for his music
The strumming of the soul
This eternal perception
Is my love that I stole

And while we battle
Do fight the worse within
I'm elated to know
That we have yet to begin

And yet I love him more
Than my very own life
Owe it to him
For burying my strife

That indeed I had wondered
Did always beg
To find a love
One you would die for
Such infinite love
The kind of legends and lore
A love suicide I did once implore

So on his heart I place my hand
Kiss the beating of his soul
Slide my hand just beneath his own
Look into his eyes
And do always know
That in them are love
Nay more than just that
In them are fire
The same from the first day
The love of love
Loving one and the other
Love for love
When we'll always have eachother
