you, my love

are the unwavering flame

a stiffened rain

that falls fruits rippened

to germinate

you, beacon of my dreams

and power that streaks

the dawn of awakening

bastion of my savoring

with your passion

you lay claim

to the thicket untamed

by mundane lives

and you and i

have followed each other

through this life

rise and make way

for love’s destiny

is yours to claim
