Finding a Forest

Once whilst walking amidst a night so darkling,
Pondering many a thought, wondering why light had found my aura naught,
I found myself amidst a silvery-lit wood, the moon smiling upon me when she could.
‘Twas a welcoming path, an escape from ev’ry day’s wrath.
I wandered with no aim, filling my senses of the beauty without shame.
Walking and pondering, wishing and wandering,
I hastily realized that ‘twas here, where I wish’d to adhere.
The lovely wood, so beautiful she stood.
She kept me warm and around me joy didst swarm.
‘Twas only then that I realized how lucky I’d been,
To have found such a home was now foreshown.

She offered me love and joy…
Quickly I saw that she was my dove,
And wish’d her white wings near me.
From the heavens she’d descend to flourish in love
And O’ for the first time we felt alive,
It had been long last since either,
Either of our hearts had been allowed to strive!  
Day in and Day out we would beckon to be,
Simply to be near each other,
Only to speak and come near, she’d fly miles to be near me.

Our love never failed, never flew…never faltered or bent askew,
Alas, cold grew the season and quickly we ran for warmth and that simple reason,
Our love broke free and grew stronger, never flimsy or feign, only strength didst we gain.
Though soon our fire grew grand, larger than that beautiful forest could stand.
I became arrogant, wishing for more than to me she could grant.
My flame grew hot and high, licking her leaves and bringing a fiery rain nigh.
‘Twas my love that threw her back, my hidden feelings that turned the world black,
My own fault that we regressed—‘Twas my own words that opened her egress.  
 So now I find myself wandering…simply walking and pondering,
Thinking of thoughts all lost, as I walk through my own horrid cost…
The floor is black and my world has turn’d back,

My beautiful home was torn apart, 
Taking with it my heart.
She’s been turned from me, 
For my own sickening wish to be…
And now as I walk amidst the flat ground
I must admit that ‘tis here where I am fit to be found.
