Premium Member I STOOD-

She wore me like a coat
 I wrapped around 
my arms and hands 
Around her like a robe, I stood 
Within her in her space 
More than an embrace
 I stood 
Still as a stone like a tree 
That has blossomed 
I stood 
Standing tall whoever's in her way
I bewail  for I so valuing her 
I'm at all I stood and close proximity
 I stood 
Protecting her surrounding her 
And in doing so it's her I stood standing for
 I stand I stood I wrapped my thoughts 
And my heart beats in rhythm with hers
 I stood 
Energies combined
 I stood 
We both so shined
 I stood 
Sparkling such
 I stood
In love so much
 I stood 
As I light so shine
 I stood 
Bright so shy 
I stood emerald she is a gem
 I stood 
Golden she is silver not tarnished 
I stood 
in Revelation that I mentioned
In a proximately so we stand embraced
 arms and hands bodies intertwined
Surrounded covered in Grace
Outside of time
Together we stand

 I stood
