Poetic Pause: Finding Love in a Secret Cell



In search of respite from the endless race,
I seek a vanishing point, a place of calm,
A secret cell to find my inner grace,
Where I can rest, lie down, and be embalmed.

My mind is racing with a frenzied style,
A flatline beckons, but I fear to cross,
To pause and feel the emptiness awhile,
To lose myself and let my pain be lost.

Can love eclipse the shadows of my past?
Or will I need a deeper kind of love,
To vanquish all the demons that outlast
The fragile hopes that I’ve been dreaming of?

In this secret cell, I’ll find a way to die,
To leave behind the hurt and start anew,
To be revived by love that will apply
A balm that will my wounds forever soothe.

Oh, poetic pause, my heart doth long for thee,
To silence all the voices in my head,
And bring me to a state of purity,
Where love and beauty reign supreme instead.

Let me be lost in the vastness of your space,
And find the stillness that I long to feel,
Embrace me in your tender, warm embrace,
And teach me how to love and how to heal.

So be my vanishing point, my secret cell,
The place where I can find my soul’s repose,
And in your loving arms, I’ll bid farewell
To all the pain that plagues me as it goes.

And as I drift away into the night,
I’ll find the peace that I’ve been searching for,
And know that love has vanquished all the blight,
And opened up a brighter, truer door.

With every breath, I'll feel your sweet embrace,
As though your love is all that I require,
A hidden realm where I can freely trace
The contours of my soul's deepest desire.

In this poetic pause, I'll find my voice,
And speak the words that long to be released,
The secrets that have kept me from my choice,
The doubts that bind me and won't be appeased.

But here, in your embrace, I find the key
To unlock all the doors within my mind,
To break the chains that have been holding me,
And leave the fears and doubts far, far behind.

So let me be your willing devotee,
And pledge my heart and soul unto your care,
For in your love, I find my sanctuary,
A place where I can breathe and be aware.

No more the frantic race that fills my days,
No more the pain that lingers in my heart,
But only love that guides me in its ways,
And leads me to a bright and hopeful start.

And as I lie here lost within your hold,
I know that I have found my vanishing point,
A place of safety where my heart can unfold,
And be renewed by love's sweet, soothing anoint.

As I bask in your love, I'm overcome
With a sense of peace that washes over me,
A feeling of wholeness that has begun
To fill the void that once consumed me.

And in this secret cell that we have made,
I find a refuge from the world's demands,
A space where I can rest, unafraid,
And feel the love that flows from your hands.

For you are my vanishing point, my dear,
The one who guides me to a deeper truth,
A place where I can overcome my fear,
And rediscover the beauty of my youth.

So let me linger here awhile with you,
And soak in all the love that you bestow,
For in your arms, I find my heart renewed,
And learn the things that I had yet to know.

And when the time comes for me to leave,
I'll carry with me all the love we've shared,
And know that I can always find reprieve,
In the secret cell where you have bared

Your heart and soul to me, and shown the way,
To a place where love and beauty intertwine,
A vanishing point where I can stay,
And let my heart and soul forever shine.

As we lie here in our secret cell,
I feel my heart overflowing with love,
A love that I never knew could dwell
Within my being, sent from above.

Your touch, your kiss, they bring me to life,
And in your embrace, I am reborn,
Free from the pain and the endless strife,
That had once left me tired and worn.

You are my poetic pause, my sweet release,
A refuge from the world's unending sound,
A place where I can find my inner peace,
And be lost in the stillness that surrounds.

With you, my love, I am whole and complete,
And in your eyes, I see the depths of your soul,
A love so pure, it cannot be beat,
And a bond that has made us forever whole.

So let us cherish this moment, my dear,
And hold each other close in our embrace,
For in your love, I have nothing to fear,
And in your arms, I have found my safe place.

And as we lie here lost in our love,
I know that I have found my vanishing point,
A place where I am free to rise above,
And leave behind the pain that once did anoint.

For in this secret cell, I have found my home,
A place where I can be forever free,
And in your love, I have found my own,
A love that will last for eternity.

In this poetic pause, I find my truth,
And in your eyes, I see my destiny,
A love that's pure, unbridled, and uncouth,
A love that fills me with such ecstasy.

You are my vanishing point, my guiding light,
My safe haven where I can let go,
A place where I can finally take flight,
And leave behind the things that once brought woe.

In this space, I am free to be myself,
To shed my armor and let down my guard,
To find my voice and speak from the heart,
To let love be the only thing that's hard.

For in your love, I am renewed and whole,
And in your arms, I find my sweet reprieve,
A place where I can finally let go,
And in your embrace, find the strength to believe.

So let us linger here for just a while,
In this secret cell where we can be true,
And in your love, I'll find my heart's sweet smile,
And in your arms, I'll find my way back to you.

For you are my poetic pause, my dear,
The place where I can finally be still,
And in your love, I'll find my heart's true seer,
The one who guides me with such gentle skill.

And in this vanishing point that we share,
I find a love that's pure and true and rare,
A love that fills me with such sweet delight,
And leads me to a future that is bright.
