A relationship to break the chains. 1/27/17

Once...

by Stef Lau

Once there was a man who was like no other.
He slipped into my dreams as if it were his home.
He had a way about him
that was as warm as the brightest sun upon my flesh.
He broke down the largest barriers
within me.
 
It was almost as if he had a key
to all of my locks.
He came in to heal;
Not damage my soul.
 
He tried so hard 
to pack my wounds.
He soon realized that not all the damage 
was going to be quickly healed.
I, myself, had to do such healing. 
He stayed close by,
keeping guard,
maintaining my safety;
Even while i had to go places he could not. 
 
He remained strong
on his knightful journey of protection.
He defended me as if i were his kingdom
& a threat had been made.
 
this Threat...
 
Required my consistent awareness;
And victim like state.
It took me to a cage of terror;
that cage of invisible restraints
my knight freed me from. 
 
Unwillingly,
 
i had to go back
through the radioactive sludge 
& infect myself with the Plague again.
Although this time, 
I aquired antibodies
to defend it's creeping control.
I brought the knight, 
internally 
to this party.
 
I learned the route
I must take 
to fully enjoy my life..
My Freedom.
 
This Path....
 
Requires me to head through the darkest parts
of a mountainous forest;
with razor blade shade,
rusted screw bolders 
&
infectiouslly used needles;
which I have to go through
as a naked babe.
 
But...
I will make it.
 
I will make it through
all of it,
in order to be freed with my knight
& our beautiful Family. 
I will do it all
over & over again
so i can feel his warmth.
So I can breath
The fresh Air
and feel the wind upon my face
as a 
FREE WOMAN.
 
Forever & Eternity
I will Fight for 
You.
 
This darkness wont have hold of One for long.

This is the beginning of my journey. One lovely human, whom also had a significant chronic illness connected with me on the medical level of understanding. He helped me see what a relationship was supposed to be. I will forever appreciate him & his journey within my life. He taught me a lot of lessons as I also shared others with him. His presence on this planet is missed, but he sent me a glorious replacement & this poem also applies to him.
