Stress kills;
Love within my limits.
Showing no favorites.
A voracious appetite
that's never sated.
One evening
It silently crept
into my daily life.
Each new attack
weakened my resolve.
My mind and body
slowly enervated,
My plangent heart
so debilitated,
As stress assailed
with no appeasement.
I was on the edge
of the final abyss
when you came along.
Your nurturing soul
rescued me in time,
soothing my nerves,
demonstrating a love.
Angelic in scope,
your calming strokes,
upon my battered soul.
The balm I craved. ...
