Wondrous

Wondrous you are

In your armour of gold

Going to war

To fight for the freedom of those

Which men with hearts of darkness

So violently stole

Hero you are

To my soul weary heart

Strong in conviction

Set so far apart

From the vast herd of men

Who lack a strong spark

Gift of love you are to me

Offering the promise of calm

A soft steady sympathy

Sentiment of honour and charm

Intention to be

Constant in presence

Protector of mine

And so when the ice in me

Finally thaws

To reveal

A far softer woman

No longer angry girl

I finally surrender and lay down my shield

I kneel at your feet

While you caress my soft curls

I open myself

To be possessed completely by you

Feeling a rapture

I never before knew

There must be some kind of strange magic

Your soul brings to mine

How could I ever have hoped to meet someone

So tender and kind

Yet fierce brave and strong

And wise as well

It truly is wondrous

This magical spell

That falls upon me

In such a powerful way

Making me open to longing

And promise also to stay

Close by your side

For the rest of my days
