Chapter 172 - Softness

Beneath the hush of crimson skies,

your hand in mine, a breath replies;

no sharper cry, no sweeter balm,

than quiet hearts in secret calm.

Through whispered winds, your fingers trace,

the sacred hymn across my face;

a fleeting brush, a silent plea,

that only boundless souls can see.

In spaces where the world grows still,

your warmth carves out my shattered will;

and sorrow folds within your palm,

a wounded bird restored to calm.

The fragile hour, the fleeting breath,

becomes a rose reborn from death;

and every sigh you lay on me,

unravels knots I could not free.

Your gaze, a feather on my skin,

soft rivers singing deep within;

no clamor breaks, no thunder falls,

where your sweet spirit gently calls.

The stars fall silent at your kiss,

the sky unthreads itself from bliss;

you hold the dusk in quiet hands,

and weave the dark with golden strands.

No blade nor storm could dare invade,

the citadel our hearts have made;

with every glance, you stitch the seam,

and cradle me within your dream.

Each word you speak, a falling leaf,

drifting through gardens of belief;

I catch your truths with open arms,

and drown in your disarming charms.

When sorrow beats against the door,

you lift me from the bloodied floor;

your voice, a balm no wound denies,

your breath, a prayer that never dies.

No kingdom holds, no empire keeps,

the sacred way your spirit weeps;

your weeping mends what breaks in me,

like rivers kissing wounded sea.

The sighs you breathe upon my chest,

become the oath I love the best;

for in those words unshaped by sound,

I find the place where dreams are found.

The aching hush of twilight's hand,

wraps us in songs we understand;

no need for crowns, nor heavy creeds,

your nearness sows my deepest needs.

Soft light entombs our fleeting hours,

within the clasp of ghostly flowers;

no thorn could mar, no drought erase,

the garden blooming in your grace.

Your touch unfastens ancient scars,

like candle flames unbind the stars;

each breath you gift, a mended thread,

each gaze, a vow where angels tread.

Where once I wore my doubts as skin,

you wove new heavens deep within;

and through the wreckage of my past,

your hands built temples meant to last.

The echoes of your silent prayer,

chase demons from my heavy air;

I drink the light you pour in me,

and bloom beneath your mystery.

A trembling heart, a steady flame,

you never once demand a name;

you love me best when I am torn,

and bless the places I am worn.

No sacred stone, no shifting sky,

could touch the way you let me cry;

no priest could weave a holier grace,

than the soft altar of your face.

We dance in hush, in solemn light,

with every heartbeat pure and right;

your hands, my sanctuary's gate,

your soul, the answer drawn by fate.

Thus in your arms, I rise, I fall,

and find my peace within it all;

a symphony of breath and gleam,

where gentlest mercies weave the dream.
