I’ll build for you a wall made of kisses,

tender bricks of joy, love and forgiveness

to cushion your heart as it leaps from your chest

landing softly in my waiting arms to rest.

Just breathe.



I’ll sing you to sleep each night,

and make your fears take flight.

Just sleep.



You were handled carelessly out among the madness.

I’ll wipe away each day of anger, hate and sadness.

You’ll soon forget when you were pricked and bruised.

The scars you’ve gained from pain will fade away to skin brand new.



I will shield you from the bullets

seeking you through the air.

I will guard you from the plunderers

who try to strip you bare.

I will hide you from the thieves

who wish to steal your grace,

and I will strike down any fool

who moves to strike your face.



Precious, I don’t care what you’ve done.

It doesn’t matter now.

Precious, you’ve come home at last,

lost little one I’ve found.

Precious, you are the light of my life.

Precious, I will forever hold you tight.



The stars fade, the world erased, time will fall away,

but my love for this one bride will never change.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's a little odd (wonderfully odd of course) after writing this, I was wondering how Easter corresponded to the Hebrew/Jewish calendar. This (March 26, 2009) was the first day of Nisan, the first month of the ecclesiastical year. Significance? This is ultimately a song about God's love for his church with romantic overtones. God had Moses change the start of their calendar (Exodus 12) to signify the ransom of Israel from out of Egypt. Clean slate, anyone?

The romance is intentional. It's supposed to speak of a deep love of a kingly man for his bride. Even though my comment applies a certain context, it's open for others!

I like your style.
This was awfully romantic.. and then I read your comment, and the romance was gone! This was a wonderful poem and you are an interesting person. Nice to have found you
