Love of My Life

She’s the love of my life

I’ve known her a long time

Together we have traversed

many bright skies

plummeted into thick shadows

sometimes a frenzy of adventure

sometimes deep day dreams

but always rising lighter, stronger, wilder

We were plucked ripe and ready

for this world

delicate fruit from the highest bough

faerûn alive in our veins

you can taste our souls

by simply hearing our songs

She’s the love of my life

I’ve known her a long time

She’s a wonder and so am I

only, it’s solely my eyes

you can see glistening hazel

under the dappled green

of our guardian trees

both of us here, both of us free

She is the vines

her body entwined inside mine

holding onto our osmosis by proffering

her red mystery all around me

turning me into a fertile bed

where the fae meet the earth

She’s the love of my life

I’ve known her a long time
