Atlas did Shrug

Knowing my nuances,
That test elasticity,
You've always stood still -
With your eyes watchful.
You've seen  me fly -
Defying gravity -
And you'd kept your distance -
Along another shore,
Where our eyes would always meet,
But we'd lead concrete paths divergent.
It's mayhaps,
Not the surety of thought
Rather the presence of void -
Makes us avoid absence.
We seek shelter,
In our tunnel -
Where we see the silver light,
Brimming in its luminous intensity.
Rimming darker clouds -
Eroding the dark within.
Leaning on you,
As a pliant vulnerable reliant,
I let you shoulder my burden.
For the time being,
I say to me,with a deep sigh.
For the time being,
I let you illumine my reasoning.
We let loose the canons,
To open our Pandora's Box-
Of secrets within,
And broken hopes.
Our own fragility,
Strengthens our touch.
You steady me,
As I crumble.
You hold me dear,
As in the dark, I tumble.
You let my foot-steps,
Find a hold.
Home is coming back to your essence,
Away from the hurtful ways of the wise world.
I feel alive in my own femininity,
Not afraid of the cascading tears that
Forms the deeper pools of kohl.
In your arms,
Finally I let loose,
All that's pent-up,
Wasted time and it's empty moments.
Rotten pearls and yellowed fragments of memory.
Lighter, as sobs escape-
I crawl back to my being-
Comfort-ridden in my crabby cocoon.
