Bond

When a mystic light echoed,
through the darkness,
inside the long winding tunnel of dreams;
He was right there,
in the middle of it,
trying to get the better of the speed of his demons.
A lookback cannot be compromised with inside,
time is of the essence,
so is whatever is left of him;
Instead, he looks up, and stops;
taken over by the darkness,
he closes his eyes.
Takes a deep breath and collapses;
with a smirk on his face,
and the eye of the storm staring down at him.
For one final time,
he looks back down his tread path,
and she was standing there,
white as snow.
The storm was unrelenting,
the tunnel seemed to squeeze itself inwards,
suffocation was imminent;
She approaches slowly,
afraid, very afraid;
what if they would never meet again?
It didn't matter, she thought;
what's required now is his freedom,
and she was the only one who could help!
She reaches him,
his eyes were nearly closed,
but open enough to see her.
It was time,
she could feel it;
she bends down
and with all the courage she had in her,
gave him the kiss of a lifetime.
And then, he was gone!
A smile broke her lips; they were finally free, despite the bond,
one for a lifetime - one that had no meaning and had no end.
