My Sweet Departure from Her to Her

As I return to ash, a legacy so shall I leave behind
As I return to ash, so shall the secrets of my mind
I shall lock away my soul
Leave a story untold
As I return to ash, a rose shall unfold
My breath shall fragrant the air
My heart will be released from despair
As I return to ash, I shall realize I was never there
That I dwelled in the bouls, crying in the belly of the beast
That it was never the intent, for me to see the sun rise in the east
As I return to ash, my wings of sorrow shall hold my spirit down
So shall I existed in the bowls of this beast, so shall I be found
Limply sloshing around in the water, as the beast sluggishly ravishes waters of its own
As I return to ash, I shall wish to stay, I shall want to be gone
How long can I endure an existence, lying exhaustedly on this rock
How long will faith spit on me, and allow restless slumber in, so that I may be mocked
As I return to ash, I shall utter one word
My lips spoke softly, I smiled, my tears manifested into hummingbirds
The blue forms fluttered away, leaving behind the sparkles that comprised her brilliant eyes
Then tore a rift in my heart, as spacious as her smile was wide
As I return to ash, from this hole, thick black blood bled
My spirit shall rise, no longer as heavy as head
How I long for your arms embrace
How sweet was the moment, when your fingers caressed my face
How glorious will be the moment, when our souls occupy the same space
As I return to ash, my eyes shall I close
My soul shall rise from my lungs from my mouth, and to be held by the one I chose
As I return
