Love is the gift of joy and coming home to a lovers heart.


Poem Artwork


Lay me down in sweet green meadows,


dance with me in the leafy glen


crown my hair with circlets of roses


help me remember when...



Dance with me in soft moonlight,


Singing your magic song,


Fill me with love's innocence lost


Shelter me in your warriors heart


From the demons who haunt my mind


Gift me with bright yellow daisies,


a warm hearth and your loving face


Your body next to mine at night...


simple things that hold such grace.


I'll sing love's song, crowned with stars


and let you see my heart,


Whisper the pain and shame away


til only the two of us remain.


No shadows to haunt or stain us


where only truth exists


and love deepens in the warm sunlight


and our ancient troth renewed.


Lay me down in sweet meadow grasses


Let me feel your love


Hold me in your warriors soul


Until the end of time


 


And when my life is over


Carry me to the sea,


Watch me dance the billowing waves


Knowing I'll wait beyond times gates


For you to come to me.

WoW - speechless, and that's quite a chore to accomplish. Straight from your soul and totally beautiful.
