Author’s Notes – Written by me (Ghost Helwig) from the point of view of a character of mine whose name is Lightning.  A slash poem, because he’s in a rather unconventional slash relationship.  If you care, stories and possibly more poetry from/about him and his lover should be written very soon.

 

Steal and I will hunt you down.  I’m just sayin’.  ^_~

 

Anyway, enjoy.  Peace, all.

Your Lightning Falls

by Lightning  (Ghost Helwig)

 

-------

 

 

Your spirit calls me

Your heart surrounds me

You’re the one who knocks me to my knees

The only one to whom I say “please”

You’re integral to keep me from being hollow

The only one I shall ever follow

Whenever your voice calls

Your Lightning falls

 

-------

 

You have more power than I do

Because my power answers to you

You give and I’ve never seen you take

I will be the one to mend you should you ever break

You’re the one who keeps me from feeling hollow

The only one my wild spirit follows

Wherever your voice calls

Your Lightning falls

 

-------

 

You lift me to a higher plane

You’re the only one who keeps me sane

I’ve never been the type to say the words

At least not when I know I can be heard

But “I love you” and I wanted you to know

Because I’m not the type to let it show

You’re the one whose every word I’ve swallowed

The only one I know whose heart is hallowed

Whenever I hear you call

Your Lightning falls

 

-------

 

I bend so that you won’t ever break

Your every hurt I’ve prepared my heart to take

I’ll be the only one you’ll ever need

So I never have to beg you not to leave

You’re the only one who gives me rest

The only one I know who doesn’t see me as a pest

Whenever your voice calls

Your Lightning falls

 

-------

 

For you I find myself standing still

Not running through my life doing what I will

For you I’d give up on the dark

For you made me see the light by showing me your heart

You’re the one who gives my heart a home

The only one who keeps me from feeling alone

So whenever your voice calls

Your Lightning falls
