I don’t love
In order to
Be loved I
Love to love
And once even
If we stop
Loving I will
Always love simply
Because you are
Now in my
Heart and it’s
There that you
Shall forever stay
I don’t love
In order to
Be loved I
Love to love
And once even
If we stop
Loving I will
Always love simply
Because you are
Now in my
Heart and it’s
There that you
Shall forever stay
Even inside I
Can tell fall
Is coming not
By color but
By wind licking
Trees and grass
Soon leaves will
Leap like tiny
Spinning parachutes landing
And carpeting everything
Under foot calico
Fleeing from chills
To warming fires
We will huddle
And remember summer
I do enjoy
Beauty is there
Nothing more beautiful
Than a field
Of wild flowers
Fresh and plump
Fully sunned and
Damp with dew
Except perhaps for
That dried bouquet
Kept for years
Simply because with
It comes my
Memories of you
And it’s you
That is my
Most beautiful thing
We met when
You were but
A prince I
Taught you honor
Trust chivalry horses
Compassion armor and
Armaments protection love
And soon when
I’m gone it
Will be your
Turn to be
Like a king
Through tears of
Joy or sadness
A well placed
Kiss is like
The comforting hand
Of God Himself
Here let me
Ssssh it’s okay
Be still now
