Okay, so this is my first Jisbon piece. I have been trying for a while to come up with something and this little poem decided to write itself tonight. :) Love it when that happens. XD Hope you like it. It's a little different than my other poems, and not just because it's Jisbon. Please read, enjoy, and review. :D

A Once Dead Heart

My candle for you flickering bright

Your pale skin shimmers in moonlight

Those words I thought I'd never say

Somehow escaped my mouth today

Now you look at me in awe

The woman that always keeps the law

You forced my heart to beat

Your beautiful face my special treat

Somehow I forget to breathe

Hoping that you won't just leave

Take my hand and lead me

Let my eyes open so I can see

The world around us is now so clear

I gained your love and lost my fear

The smile I love now seen

Somehow you made my dark soul clean

You ask me if it's true

I say, "Yes, I do love you"

Now only time can tell

At lease I'm saved from personal hell

Burning passion takes us over

You're my little four leafed clover

Under the stars only silence awaits

I feel I can now open my gates

I'll let you completely in my life

Only one I allowed before: my wife

In all the years I've known you

I let my heart stay black and blue

But now I can be free

Love and tenderness awaits me

Promise me you'll never leave

In this pair you'll always believe

I wish this night never ended

But in this time my heart was mended

Looking back brings only smiles

The journey together has lasted miles

Today the question will be asked

Our possibilities are so vast

A once dead heart beats again

Crimson flesh where decay had been

Now that we may share our bed

Once bad, now good meaning to the color red.

Just an FYI, I'm trying to say his heart is now red which is better than thinking of red as refering to Red John. Don't know if that was obvious or not, so I figured I'd tell you all. :) Hope you liked it. Please send me a review (even if it's a small one). I'd appreciate it. :D Thanks for reading. :)
