I. He is my protector
and I am his
as much as we might fight it
Our love is true
We are now the family of “us”.

II. He is sleeping
And I fight the urge
To burrow closer
And possibly wake his slumber
Just to see his eyes
Hear his voice,
Feel his breath,
Or find a pen to
Write about him.

III. We are every character
In the most fantastic
Never ending children’s story.

—

IV. I have always been writing of
For, and to you,
With different character names
Never even knowing it,
Or that you even existed.

—

V. You are my true love,
My shield,
My light reflected in armor
You are my white knight,
And I your veiled
Exotic, damsel,
Waiting at tower’s edge,
To be saved,
To save,
Only you,
And confess,
“I love you”.

—

VI. In other lives
he has been
Zeus to my Hera,
Jesus to my Mary Magdalene,
Ares to Aphrodite,
Mercury to Venus,
We are cyclical,
Destiny,
Whatever happens next,
We will be.
