My Beloved

My beloved, Your touch thrills me, My newlywed, Your presence fills me. My hands grip you, For you are mine. Moments are few, When my eyes don't flit to thine.

Or your trills, Which ends him. Your love isn't "for", For it clouds the brightest minds. Your love is the rabid dogs of war Destruction it always finds. Sinews clench you tight, Trigger clenched. For I won't go without a fight, My country I will fend.......................
