He Caught His Prize

He wandered the barren landscape of his dreams,

Forever searching for the one who completes his goals,

Be it friend, lover or nemesis,

Turning his days into a light-scape she controls.

**

His heart is bonded in chains and locks,

Darkened with pain of torments past,

Blooded with memories of an age old year,

In a nightmare that is forever cast.

**

His face is worn into grooves of constant tears,

Eyes forlornly looking towards a future without hope,

His mind a jumble of contradictions,

Tussled and confused, struggling to cope.

**

Until the morning he eclipsed under a ray of sunshine,

When his gaze fell upon the brown eyes of his destiny,

A glance of such profound connection his knees grew weak,

And his heart beat into a song of such exquisite ecstasy.

**

A smile lit his handsome face in a golden glow,

As love filled the shattered cracks of his shrivelled heart,

Blood pounded his temples in a staccato of joy,

And laughter bubbled in delight at his soul’s kickstart.

**

His feet walked on air where once he stumbled aground,

His head now lives within the clouds of above,

A small hand clasps his tightly with an unspoken promise never to let go,

As she surrounds him in the aroma of her exotic love.

**

Where once there was one living a solo existence,

Now there are two who’ve expanded in physicality,

A family of adoration, of strength, of enchantment,

Two hearts full of love, joy, hope and sentimentality.
