Your Humble Servant

To me you are a sacred dream Each warmest hope upon the day. A glass of wish from precious stream Bright trace of sun through clouds of grey. My endless trust in times of need Our secrets shared we do confide In passions breath to one I’m freed Past darkest hour you are my guide. Protection is my granted gift To strive for you my sole delight No one event shall birth a rift Forever yours my quest to fight. Perfections promise I shall chase it's luck you chose my life to grace. 23rd May 2016

Love isn't one of my stronger points when writing (this is only the second Love poem I have ever written). I'm flattered with the fave as I have a lot of development to do with this type of writing. Thank you : )
