DEVOTION - Etheree^4
Tell
the tale
again, love,
how we found this
haven from the storm!.
The castle of your arms
will not fall to any siege!.
I trust this because I know you,
you cradle my heart close in your hands,
and you don't hold it from need, but desire!.

The door I strained to keep so locked away,
who knew the key was trapped in a kiss,
though not the touch of lips on lips,
but of your soul upon mine!.
We met in still silence,
unable to speak,
but you held out
your hands and
told me,
fall!.

Failed
attempted
of giving
myself to you
did not discourage,
or dampen your ardor,
but encourage you onward!.
You tell me now of hopeless nights,
when you frantically scribed poetry
in hopes that I would soon see my way clear!.

You swore your heart, semper fidelis,
who could stand up under that pressure!?
Slowly, my heart's armor broke,
allowing the sun of love,
light not scathing, but sweet!.
Devotion, not fear,
I give myself,
forever,
to be
