I Will Live For Love

Using a mirrored acrostic as my defining line for my submission to the 'Tattoo This Line' challenge.

I Will Live For Love

In silence I withered, until your safety shrouded my Insecurity,

-

Words were quiet, but your name shouted through my Whispers

I had forgotten how to feel, then you taught me Intimacy

Light found my soul through the veil of your Laughter

Lonely no longer—your warmth now ends my Longing,

-

Laughter returned like a bright spring Leaf

I got locked in your gaze and told you all without Inquiry

Vows where unspoken, yet clear in the hush of your Voice

Every promise with you, rewrote my old Endings,

-

Forbidden thoughts linger in the touch of your Fingers

Over and over, I request to submit, you finally Obliged.

Reaching for you, my hands trembled with Rapture,

-

Love, defying darkness, a candle that burns with Loyalty

Once I lived in stasis, now I live in your Orbit

Virtuous acts define you, stitched with your sweet Vows

Even at night, a brightness now covered Everything.

Thank you to all who suffered through my attempt at another poem. I would like to give a special thanks to the Marriam-Webster Thesaurus, as it was a god send :D
