~My King~ … ~My Love~… My Heart and Soul~…
He who knows so well my heart and mind ~ enhances who I am;
'tis this love that me to His side binds with strong yet silken strands.
I stand beside Him not through force, safe for that I feel,
when through my veins His pleasures course and at His feet I kneel.
Out of my darkness He brings light that helps me find my way,
His strength and his courage guard my nights and usher in each new beautiful day.
I was merely a ~spirit~ wandering lost ~ drowning in despair ~
upon the seas of sorrow tossed, alone and dying there.
So much within me hidden deep, deprived of my very breath;
poisoned secrets haunted my sleep as my soul danced within deaths embrace.
The days passed by, but brought no light to burn off pain and grief;
demons screamed throughout each night, robbing my sleep of peace.
Just as sunlight smites a storm and paints the rainbow's hue,
I found myself in His arms borne, and life to began anew.
My reflection I see within in His green eyes, so knowing and sincere,
showed me not what I despised when I gazed upon the mirror.
He looked upon my fragile naked soul, exposed on Satan's altar;
declared me cleansed and made me whole ~ not once did His precious gaze falter.
Seeing everything I am and all that I could become,
He seared my wounds with his caring loving hands, then brought me safely home.
Just as a jeweler finds in the soil a rare and precious gem,
so did He in my heart toil, and found there deep within,
the part of me lost so very long ago, buried but somehow still pristine,
which He, with tenderness and love, polished to a gleam.
He paid no heed when He found me, to carnage, pain, and fears;
but sojourned in to clearly see beyond my veil of tears.
He took this ~spirit~ he found bleeding into His wondrous arms ~
protected it with courage that's rare, kept it warm and safe from harm.
He nurtures me with a steadfast love; guides me with a caring hand ~
a hand of steel, in fairness that's gloved, that touches every strand
woven through my heart and mind ~ tensile, yet drawn tight;
the terror dark that stalks my mind He slays with his wisdom's light.
Though I shall never understand why my Goddess gave Him to me,
my life is whole within His command ~ His firm grasp sets me free.
To fly on wings that He has healed with guidance, strength, and love;
condemnation now repealed ~ my souls soars free above.
I pray to My Goddess to let me always please Him well, and for Him walk only in grace ~
this Man My King who faced the fires of hell to bring me to a place
within His strong, courageous heart, where I have been reborn ~
let me to Him my all impart and never to bring Him scorn.
For He completes me and I, Him, and ever shall this be;
a symbiosis void of sin ~ two hearts and minds set free.
He, finding in my utter trust His every dream and pleasure;
I surrendering all I must, and in Him finding the greatest treasure.
Our hearts are joined by The Goddess's own Hand, and now beat on as one ~
living out Her perfect plan and vulnerable to none.
Our union is blessed with holy grace, sent from the Heavens above ~
at this Man's side I take my place as He leads on with love.
May our journey never end unless our Goddess says it must,
my will, unbroken, always bend to His own, wise and just ~
my destiny I placed in His hands, my every moment spent,
cocooned and bound with silken strands of His love, that's purely
~Heaven sent~
Loving YOU..loving me
~SweetSpirit~
This piece was written for our anniversary last year. It took me almost an entire year to put this together because I wanted it to be perfect.
