Something I Am Not

For you through every gate of hell I'd run
and rattle Satan's door and laugh at fear,
then soar beyond God's stars to hold you close
to capture in my heart a thousand suns.

I'd fly through angry squalls and call it fun -
make each and every sadness go away,
so only happiness would draw a tear
and even then I can't say I'd be through.


But, if you ever felt I'd do you wrong,
betray that precious love within your heart
and toss aside your trust and say goodbye -
fall prey to sultry other woman's charms 
and every guile temptation can reveal,
then that is something I could never do.

such a beautiful romance poem...for love, if it is real i guess there is nothing we wouldn't do for someone's happiness, and though most try not to cause hurt...some do....beautifully penned :) hugs
