Amidst the tall trees
Beckons a spire
Climbing to the sky
Down below the moors
Ever covered in mist
Fog so thick like blankets
Gravestones poke out
Hauntingly the fog swirls
Images appear them puff
Just like that they are gone
Knaves lurk waiting for a victim
Lucky if you can avoid them
Murder is whats on their mind
Not just robbery, they been paid
Opals for to end a life
Plead not for mercy there is none
Quietly try to slip past
Right ahead of you in the tower
Sits the maiden of your dreams
The treasure you put yourself at risk for
Utterly silent you slip by
Venturing ever closer to your goal
With bated breath you slip inside
Xenocryst ring ready in your hand
Yellow crystal gleaming
Zap the guard and claim your bride
About this time - night time
Between the sheets I am wrapped
Cozy and warm - you and me
Delicately I am caressed by your touch
Enveloped by your love
Feeling the intensity of our moment
Goosebumps proudly revealing themselves on naked flesh
Happiness fills me inside and out
I am content beyond my wildest imagination
Jailed willingly in your tower of love
Knotted and tangled deliciously with emotions
Life is on a 24/7 high
Moment to moment that we share
New words expressed, a book begins
Opening the first page words proudly inked
Permanently stained like a tattoo on my skin
Quietly embraced within your arms
Relishing each second, minute and hour
Spent with you tears well inside
Telling you how special this is
Unified is how I feel with you
Vaults of energy pump through my veins
With you love is intense and so profound
Xenocryst are you - unique - my best friend
You are the brightness of stars and the
Zest that fulfills my life - Thank you
I think this is still within the ABC form? Rather than 5 lines I have travelled the alphabet. Let me know if this is not considered an ABC form and i would be happy to edit my post to reflect what style it should be.......
