Baker's Dozen Story #4

A Poem for Richonne (Writer's Choice-Poem)

Fate tore me to pieces,

My life a discarded shell,

You came to me like a vision,

Shining light upon my hell.

Your warmth healed my blindness,

My soul entwined with yours,

You filled my empty heart

With an affection that assures.

Your hope grew within me,

It bloomed with your love,

I do not fear death

For with your strength I'll rise above.

Your words always echo,

Within my heart and mind,

We are the ones who live,

My purpose now redefined.
