A Love Story

A glance that seemed expendable, but the closer I looked the deeper her beauty sprouts
From a period I consider lifeless came purpose
My heart just kept drawing closer
kindled by the urge to express beauty as an art

I had my projections but love defiles
It strings you to a soul yet embodied in the smile of another
Running wild your heart races 
Swift lightening engulfing your senses

I am but a soldier left for victory or pity
Like an espionage at enemy lines I've made my choice
Love is worth the fight so I'll see this war till the endless end of forever
It may take my all, but that is my call.

To the one I chose above all.
