You glow brightly, my love

Poet, adventurer, scholar,
Stretching my mind and soul more than comfort bears
Each pull strains and tears,
Then heals and grows
Drawing me closer, moth to flame, craving more.
In all things fearless, yet cautious with your heart,
The one thing I give so freely for the first time
In so very long. So very long.
So little time, yet so much longing
There is no sense, no rhyme, no reason
It is mad, it spins beyond my control
It frightens me
Yet heightens me
Only in freedom can you be mine
Only enslaved do I dare let myself be free.
Once escaped, emotions cannot be contained,
Especially after so long in confinement
Pain and pleasure intertwine,
Twixt doubt and hope you'll ever be mine.
Gentle and generous soul,
You will blow me kisses softly
And send me on my way.
Again alone, but never the same.
You glow brightly, my love.
