Eve of Destruction

You were not my epiphany
You did not open my eyes.
But you welcomed my gaze
as my vision cleared.
What a beautiful vision.

You were not my journey
my compass, or destination.
But you took my hand when
I stumbled.
What a beautiful hand.

You were not my decisions
my motivation or end.
You were an addition.
What a beautiful addition.


You were a light in my darkness.
Your love a validation.
Your kiss a welcome home.
Your body a touchstone so fine.


I may forever be your Eve of destruction
but you my love, will never be mine.
