My Fortitude

Do you see the twisted in me

The depravity touched by insanity

Your love gives me a shove

Like a dove from above

In my decent I repent

You are heaven sent and have lent

Me the fortitude to battle at length

No judgment of my strength

Oil upon the water of my laughter

Slaughter of night's daughter

You have taken that which destroys

Replacing it with rainbow joy

Light battling against moonless skies

Stumbling towards the glow that dies

How does one bottle starlight

To kiss it in the gloom of night

Pressed against my cheek

Warmth's radiation I seek

To fight my blizzards cold

Blinded by the flurry of old

You are my bottled starlight

The North Star upon my weary travels

The rainbow after my storms

Oil shimmering upon turbulent waters.
