The Enchantment of a Hero

Strong and tall, bold and lean
All qualities of a hero I've seen
He found me almost in my grave
I was soon to become the Earths slave

Now I am enchanted with my hero, see
Captivating my heart, making my soul shake
Leaving an ache in my torso, my troubles leave
With-in my spirit, out of heavens sake

His appearence in every dream when I wake
Opens up to my inner person makes every day a date

Loyalty makes the heart grow fonder Ruth - a great balance of clarity & mystery - nice tempo too! Heroism is the meaning of Life - you are the oracle for me - J.A.B. P.S. I adore India -
