stolen givings

[voiceof10kangel]

when i awoke
the world was strange
the colors more vibrant
the scents more stayed
unfamiliar to me, I sensed a change

'something is missing'
a thought i could taste
the imbalance unsettling
the hollow unchaste
what is it? i thought
what changed in the space?

i reached for my conscious and touch my soul... still there
i reached for my thoughts and touch my mind... still there
i reached for my honor and found my courage... still there

i sat bewildered
'something has changed'
my paradigm pulsing
my ground rearranged

then i saw you and our smiles brewed
eyes lit like fire, and passion ensued
it was then i could see, when i peeked through the maze
lead by the hand from the depth of your gaze,
like i normally do, into layers of you

found in your chest, you'll never guess
the surprise that came, the delight my eyes met
for beating in time, same cadence of rhyme
was not just your heart, but beside it, was mine

then i knew, why i felt so new

in the sleep of a dream, and a time in a place
when you held me and touched me, when eyes were ablazed
i opened inside, and took down the guard
removing from me, my most cherished part

i had given to you for tender safe keeping
to protect from the weather and villians of creeping
the only thing to me worth the stars
my lifeline
my core store
my spirit
my heart...
