MASTER OF MY SOUL

Oh Master, Master, Master of my Soul,
I bind myself to thee.
For as long as we shall live, these chains bind you and me.
These are made of rigid steel to witstand the test of time,
To fasten us together ne'er to be removed

Our future lay ahead of us it is pain to see,
Desined for a lifetime nevermore to be set free.
Thus I give myself to thee to set here at your feet,
Enshrouded in you're shadows to be to you helpmeet.
So now what e'er your bidding, it shall be behooved.

so long as my name is attatched to it..i'll be happy to lend this one--if you find it suitable to your needs  


My Love,
You are the dream
That bids me sleep
And the morning
To which I rise...

This day, I become yours--  
Not as possession,
But to hold

That I may dance, hold me loosely
As the air embracing a flame
If I should shake, hold me surely
As an Angel guarding my soul

Come to me with your laughter
That I might touch your heaven
Reach for me in your sorrow
That I may help slay the demon

From this day forward
You are harmony to my song

My only love,
You are the dream
That whispers, follow--
And the sun
Which bids me wake...

DosPeros, I must be too much of a feminist...I can't picture calling my honey "master" anywhere outside of the bedroom.  

dgvarner, your poem is breathtakingly beautiful.  What name would you want on your poem?  Feel free to email me.

EchoRhayne, I'm looking forward to what you scrounge up!

Hi Tara,

I only thought of this poem because I was asked before by someone to use it on her wedding day. Please feel free to use it if this is what you had in mind. Nothing worse than writers block when you need inspiration most.  
Perhaps you could also check the "Love Poems" section on the main site. I'm sure there's more than one poem out there you'll love.  

Walk with me

Walk with me, the path of life,
to explore every bend of the road
Enjoy with me the beauty of life,
along its wonderful way

Find comfort with me, in each others arms,
when grief crosses our path
Find strength with me, in each others strength,
when despair lies in wait

Laugh with me, a single true laugh,
to enlighten another's distress
Cry with me, a single true tear,
to understand true happiness

Cherish with me, the wonders of life,
as they need to be preserved
Rejoice with me, in the mysteries,
of what is yet to be

Find peace with me, in each others souls,
when the world has gone insane
Find love with me, in each others hearts,
until this life has been fulfilled

And when the path comes to an end
I hope we can say from within
We've known the beauty of true love,
our love came from within


Munda

When is the wedding?
