Set me free to love thee

Look into my eyes
as I look into yours
deep to see beyond a facade
and gaze upon compassionate core
I long for thee to see
and roam in my heart, free

see the man I have become
beyond all senses, numb
for I have awaited thee
longed to with thee be
the realization of thy presence here
is yet to dawn completely,
my fawn.

Embrace my essence, my love
softly, gently as a young dove
for time has cast many rocks
and incarcerated me in indestructible stocks,
only thy acceptance of me
can let me break of my bonds, free,

and rise again a warrior
capable of defending thy honour
and love thee unceasingly
for all eternity, willingly
and then lift thee onto my shoulders
and crush thy path’s boulders...

oh Beauty
pronounce thy delight
for my embrace
throughout every night.
