THE CALLING

She killed him with her love

Her smile paralyzed his face

Her voice his singing shattered

Her look to ashes did him burn

Even rain clouds withered away

Afraid to satiate the dying embers

Her purity, like acid, scalded his heart

Her perfection, like bliss, wrenched his soul

Even memories haunted his temple of solace

And his emotions in the vortex of pain were sucked

It bothered him not in the least

Neither did he even remotely flinch

The sun still rose in the east

His love was still blessed

Even if it had his blood on it

He lived on in hope

And sighed not at the moon

Nor did he chase falling stars

His was not a conquest

It was willing surrender

For his love would return

And frame the sunset of his life.
