a tentative haven
you've offered
though your heart lays weary
upon a distant shore
don't you know..........(sighs)
you remain ever my prominent raven
come wave to persistent wing's wave
why, even now from your injured moor
I still hold the sweetness and passion
you crave
that of which you claim to adore
so much so that I still feel your consistent
adoration for me and so much more
hovering at a fluttering stay
I must stand firm
I tell my heart
for in my faith of you
hope sings sweet
to shore up my quivering core
you will not leave me thus
empty and without words for long
I know the very honor your words to me wore
so much want, desire and ache
they do not so easily turn to ash
for if the flames are even only so very slightly
fed a little oxygen and some tender kindling
the fire can return in its full and glorious blaze
and if nothing ever stood truer
we both know
no matter what the grim circumstance between us
you are my fire for certain
as I am yours for all my days............
