Peace Successfully Forged

In greatly horrific desolation

Forgiveness never remains

The betrayals of the heart

Are never forgotten

She looked at him

With no sympathy

She knew every wrong move

He had made insistently

Upon her chess board

She cared not

Instead, she clung 

To the infinite signal

That guided her through

Eternity's boundlessness

Love itself and nothing more

She took a few steps

Looked deep into his lying eyes

Gently grabbed his unshaved face

With her thin weary hands

Kissing him 

Upon his wrinkled forehead

And hugging him so tightly

He could never break free

This moment is unconditional love

And with that, 

She turned upon her heels

Letting the past fade

Into a black hole of oblivion

Her long black cape  

Drifting in the turbulent winds

No regrets did she keep 

For she knew the story well

From a collection 

Of missing puzzle pieces

She had coaxed 

From his dormant mind

Unsettling yes

Shook to the core yes

But as always 

She is the survivor

Of every apocalyptic moment

That forged her existence
