Beside
Knowing you're at my side,
I stand
invincible
Forged of love in passion's crucible
Your affection renders me
untouchable
The ripe colors of my dreams of you which stain me are
unfadeable
Lush whispers render sweetness, the once unknowable to the already
known
Leaves me aware of the love I already own
Waking, I remember
your smell,
The effervescent reminder that I'd walk through hell for you,
Riding on soles formed of the soul you retaught me to feel
Hermes' wings
faithfully affixed to each heel.
