An Elicit Destiny

The kiss of destiny brushed my cheek
I opened my eyes and caught a glimpse of the silhouette
left by the mate of my preincarnate soul
lingering amidst the lace and light of the predawn mist

Eternity is suspended in that brief encounter
as the fluid, timeless dawn grips the day
Its ethereal presence softens the guardians of intuition
and reason wanes while the heart strains its cage

Alas, the heart rejects the treasure of the empiric forge
embracing rather the dross of its refinement
Which in its cooling takes a course mishapen form
that chafes the heart and abrades the soul

But then, a clinging hope, desperate to endure
rekindles the flame of passion and crushes the lump
which chokes the throat and threatens the soul
educing a cherished crystal from the cursed core

...Which in its cooling takes a smooth luminescent form
that lights the heart and abraids the soul
