Hostage
You commandeer my thoughts
no matter where I am or what I do,
each day you carry me away.
I am happily kidnapped,
held hostage by love.
Tethered to me,
though the umbilical
long ago was severed,
there is a cord no one else can see
binding you tightly to me.
Even though one of you
has passed beyond earthly touch,
it will be forever such.
Three times my heart was invaded,
captured,
by love larger than me persuaded.
Sweet baby love, dependent,
I would be your champion still,
keep you safe, your dreams fulfill.
