She

She was my dream before I could dream, She is my sun, my moon, my stars. She’s the air in every breath I breathe, She is the true Queen of my heart. She is my warrior princess, She is each moment of my time, She’s the crimson coursing through my veins, She is my art, my prose, my rhyme. She is my strength to face the world, She is my sword and shield. She is my vulnerability, At her whim, hurt or healed. She is my missing jigsaw piece, My half-soul’s one true mate. She is my morn and starry night, She’s my destiny, my fate. She is my very Eden, Where I’m Adam, she’s my rib, God’s gift to me right from the first, My Eve, my cause to live. It’s her I’ve loved since time’s first dawn, Yet veiled for years before That first glance, yes, I knew her face, And it’s her I’ll love forever more.
