Adorned

I clothe my love in silken wrap
no surface is denied,
for every touch, and each caress
is gently amplified.
I clothe my love in sable fur
it's inner warmth to keep
held tender in primeval shroud
my love will softly sleep.
I clothe my love in armour strong
protection from the days
no onslaught shall disjoin our bond
no parting of the ways.
For love deserves such apparel
each day is dressed anew
I clothed it since that day I fell
this love I dress is you


For Janet x

Why, thank you, Casarah, very kind. I try not to get too gooey, otherwise I slip through the cracks in the sidewalk. Viv x

Thanks, Connie, I was probably thinking of you when I wrote it, but don't tell anyone x
