Mangel

I have seen the winters with you,
Seen through the shards,
To look beyond,
And into you.
To peel the layers,
And peep into your inner being.
What I found,
Is what I'd always known.
A radiant soul,
Sheathed in its own luminosity
Of wisdom and spirit.
The eyes that met mine,
Were captivating in their own essence-
Reflecting me-
As if the years spanned across lifetimes.
With my head on your shoulder-
Comfortably ensconced in its shelter,
I thought back to my own acceptance
Of you, in my world-
While you waited
With your arms outstretched
To make me  break my own shackles
Of caution and skepticism
And follow my heart again.
Breathing in deeper,
The smell of you,
I let my mind wander,
To the glow that you'd brought me-
As your love elevated me to a pedestal
Much beyond the line of sight.
Its a special place-
Where you've put me up so high.
Looking down-
I can only see the million millipedes
As they scatter about-
Plagued by their own normalcy.
Looking at your profile now,
As you drive,
I utter a quick prayer
Of gratitude -
Still struck by wonder-
At the truth of your love-
That won me over me.
And makes me love you more
With every passing day.
In life perhaps then,
I can never thank you more-
For loving my dark
And letting me see your light.
Serenity shines all over me,
As the innocence of the honey-laden days,
Fawn over me in their still-nascence.
While I let me feelings guide me-
No longer letting my illogical mind,
Mind my ways.
I look at you,
Starry eyed- mayhaps-
At the carved features-
Silvery in moonbeam-
And move in closer to you-
To feel you more-
Touch your reality-
As I liken you to
Nothing short of an Angel.
