Forge of Love


My heart shaped in the furnace of our love
Burning brighter than a bladesmith’s forge
Hammered on the anvil of our passion
Folded time and again through our desire
 
Quenched in the icy waters of my soul
Hardened and sharpened through adversity
Ground and polished to a razor fine edge
Sheathed in certainty of love eternal

This is a beauty, Shane! Romantic in the sense of enduring and prevailing love. “There, with the last of his strength, he thrust his sword into a rock. If his lineage was ever questioned, this would form a test. Only a true king of Camelot could pull the weapon free.” — Merlin describes Excalibur Love, Mikki
