I asked you for proof. You turned it back on me, Saying, proof is not what you need, Nor is it mine to give. Only that you believe, That is all you need. I wanted a gift To give my love.

Votive Vendor's Sylvan Share
Ancient relic your stock declare Blanched, burnished cloak but meager fare Your precious pulp carefully lay bare Crescent, lobed leaves bleed a fathom or share Nutty residual, fleeting equity you'll readily spare Sylvan fortress; natural haven Artfully sculpted; gratuitously graven Fertile proprietor whose bounty is raven Perennial bulwark; temporal sanctuary to the craven Vaulted repository tapped by every enterprising maven Your wavy blades insect's armored...
