Owned protected loved

she is mine
if only in my dreams

so i hold thoughts of her close to my heart

i guard the images of us like lion over her cub

she is my waking thought

so when i

open my mind to soak in my day

i

close my eyes and feel her presence

lay softly against my shoulders like the warmth of a hand sewn quilt

she is the reason i come home

hoping my day would end covered in soft kisses and a gentle embrace

she shields me from the pain of the day

she is mine

from the creation of my soul

to the death of my demons

she is my only temptation

yea thou i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear nothing

for she

is

my

rod and my staff

she protects me for his name sake

she love me as only she could

she holds me in her embrace until we are no longer just the sum of our parts

she is mine

owned

protected

and loved

and i

am

hers
