Notes About The Poem

Date written: 12/17/2020

You

y o u, the band-aid to my bleeding wound,
             the life buoy in my ocean,
             the answer to my prayers,
             my shelter from the storm
                the spark to my flame;
                   you fuel my fire
                       and passion!
                        my muse?
                          that's 
                           y o u!.
                       what else
                        can I say?
                      I'd rather be
                 your willing captive
               --everlastingly yours--
            than the freest bird there is!
             I wish to be at your mercy            
        my magnificent force of light, y o u.
