She asked me what i wanted for Christmas

and i smiled as the thoughts went through my head -

how do i tell Her i've already enjoyed
a cornucopia of treasure
for nearly a full year?

how do i tell Her our life is
like a swollen comb,
dripping with nature's sweetest gold,
and like a beautiful bee bearing honey,
I am the Queen's Drone.

in the face of hell itself,
there is no fear, no pain,
nothing but the joy that
with Her i face all things,
holding in my heart the knowledge that
of all who tried to stake a claim,
all who still try to have their own way,
all that at Her whim She could have
without much delay,
that i am the one She chooses to claim,
to share a life unlike
any She has known before,
that i am the one who got
the gift of Her
to cherish forevermore.

She asked me what i wanted for Christmas, and i smiled as
the thoughts went through my head -

i got it on the day we met.
i've got You and Your love,
and that's all that needs to be said.
