on the horizon of a fairytale

My Lover, My Friend, My Life


Step by step, I walk the chill
of the night air, my flesh aquatinted
with the sting of cold, yet my soul
is blanketed in warmth.

The eyes of comfort hold me plainly
in sight, as I trail the castle grounds,
my brave knight, aware of my heart, stands
as sentry from his station in the watchtower.

Now, morning light pours toward me,
and I wake recalling my dream, I have
no castle nor a knight, but I have more.
Your heart, your passion and your soul.

At the hour I needed you most, your
compassion rescued me, giving me life.
Reeling in despair, your benevolent heart
gave me hope, and soon wrapped me in love.

My lover, my friend, my life, your compassion
washed over me, and your heart realized it’s love for me
...and your eyes give me strength to view what is really there
and now I truly see my knight, my castle.

True love gives us all that is needed.
A beautiful poem for a very deserving
companion I'd say.
