Resurrection

Resurrection

From the embers of a couple of love stricken phoenixes, you resurrected me
Your lips parted and as bits of your soul, mind and annoyingly charismatic pride flowed
into my newly created body
The hands of time stopped for a quick minute to enjoy the show

waves of curiosity pulsed through my veins
Leaving me to lie there paralyzed with the uncontrollable numbing pain of a bottleneck of new emotions
Entranced, I did not even consider moving
that might have being an overdose of experiences and endorphins
Dawn laughed every time she saw me, trying to hide her scorn and jealousy
Because in my speechless state, I glowed more than her golden tresses
Putting a heavenly one to shame with my mortality and good intentions

Sadistic as it was I couldn't even question whether or not I would see you every day
The real question was when and how long it would take
Like a lost soul found in the caves of addiction I craved you
In every way shape or form possible
Panic would creep up my spine as Helios would complete his workday
And I still had not heard from you
Cut me a line of your philosophies and let me inhale you
Fragment by fragment, and as I feel you drop,
as the dust particles of you flow through my veins I relax
A dying thirst satiated for the time being.

Your composition was addicting
It was a heaven sent remedy
A drug I could love without any consequences or repercussions but the tranquility of my mind
Pass me the syringe and ill gladly shoot up your passion
A fire so seductively wild it spread through the land known as my body
Engulfed me in my entirety, tickling my feet and teasing my hair, but never once hurting me
Instead it gave me the opportunity for my own renaissance
And like a devoted artist you completed me
Obsessively compulsive and a perfectionist, I never once doubted your talents
Every chisel, paintbrush stroke, every word chosen carefully to complete your sonnet
I was your sis teen chapel and you made sure the end result was exactly what you conceived in your mind

I did not realize it then but I was your antidote too
You craved me as much as my cells longed for your presence
I can only develop personal theories as I wander the lands in my mind
As I search and concoct why you would choose me
What you found so alluring about me that I could never see for myself
I guess it is another case for the unsolved mysteries cabinet
Another unanswered question that feeds my insecurities
Until you hold my hand and cross me into our reality
Where Pandora, Prometheus and Persephone have yet to plague the land
I never knew why but I got the feeling you craved me as much as I did you
As pandemics spread in the blink of an eye, so did our happiness

We grew together and became a hybrid ivy
That kind that soars to the skies like my imagination did when you told me of the infinite possibilities our story had
How you told me that limits and boundaries were merely creations of pharaohs and messiahs whose purposes were lost in translation

You sang to me the melodies of the Mayas and the Incas, working your way through Latin America, around continents, time and obstacles and into my heart
Like a well-loved seed I followed your tunes, soaring through the land you prepared for me
The land that took me into the arms of Orion
Or so I called you in my musings as you held me while the northern lights danced for us

My only hope is that I gave you as much as you blessed me with
Every smile, swoon and unnamed emotion that I adored, you nurtured me and let me grow
no questions asked, no strings attached
You taught me to love and care unconditionally
And for that I thank you
