Darling – I want to write
you this love song

of faeries on a limb
eagles hasty in the wind

and sunlight sparkles
in your eyes.

I never desired to be a King
nor whaler on the sea

just a husband and a lover
with secrets for you and me.

Your face that launched
my love for you – and I do

your hand in mine – dear
ever and forever.

Richard, I really love the subtlety. It's as if every second stanza begs to be stolen: "of faeries on a limb eagles hasty in the wind", "I never desired to be a King nor whaler on the sea", "Your face that launched my love for you - and I do" ...alas, it's marked as copyright. Ephraim

Thank you so much, Ephraim, and if you wish to re-use any of my work for personal use, please do. As long as you remember I climbed the hill first, ha. Years ago, I truly enjoy playing King of the Castle. Although at the age of ten, conniving older kids loved to toss us into the area of a large bee's nest. Ouch. Richard LP
