Time in a Bottle 2


Somewhere in the light that is you, the darkness ran away.

The night no longer holds only the screams of the past, regrets unnumbered, ghosts who linger in every shadow.

Night is only night; a place of refuge rather than loneliness, a place of fear and endless doubt.

Night became more; a heartbeat, a murmur of my name, warm arms that shield.

Night became stars shining down through a tiny window; the quiet hum of your great ship at rest, as warm and comforting as the soft blanket we share.

Small things, a hundred tiny reassurances that tell me I am of worth and welcome here; all of them held within the curve of your smile or a look meant for myself alone.

Eyes that look upon me without fear; without judgment.

I thought, once, that I knew what love was.

I am gladly proven wrong.

Hands that know me; laughter that encompasses me. Love that transforms me.

"Who is he," they ask, and I do not say: He is my lover…

Though it be truth, it is a word too confining; inadequate, imperfect.

"Who is he," they ask, and I say: "He is my friend."

:iconmy-dark-desires: intrigued me with a challenge she is participating in: '30 Days-30 Letters'.

What she has done is nothing short of incredible and inspired me to continue a piece I'd considered a oneshot because the premise just fit so perfectly. You can find the first of her amazing series here: [link]

I challenge you to come away unmoved. It just isn't possible.

For myself, I may not use all of the prompts, nor may all of them be CidXVin-centric...but isn't that just how it goes?
Here we are, always at the mercy of the Muses, however they choose to manifest...

That was beautiful and warm.
I like how it can interpreted differently from the viewers point, how it wraps itself around your heart with a warm hand and makes you think of your own love/muse/child/friend/ lost one

Enchanting in it's truth and as daring in that same truth as well :love:


:blush: and thanks for mentioning me :blush:
I decided to continue too, but skip a few messages ... or rather not post them.
