In the depths of darkness
Her love shines through.

And when I am cold, my hopes and dreams frozen
She builds small fires in my soul.

I know if I was falling,
From unthinkable heights
That she would be there
With rope and open arms
Building a safety net
Below.
I know because
She does
Every single time.

There are days that
I feel certain that there is no one
In the world who gets me
And then she captures me
And everything I am
In the tone of her voice,
The strands of her hair,
The pupils of her eyes,
Her soft touch,
Her warm embrace.

She is right there
Cheering me on.

The world is unaware that the
Definition of compassion, loyalty,
Patience, understanding
Unconditional love, eternal beauty
Is her.

I love her more than
A tangled mesh of nouns, adverbs,
Letters crammed in spaces could ever articulate.

I owe her
So when she sees darkness
I shall show her light
When she feels cold and her
Hopes and dreams become a little frosty
I will be there with my matches
Ready to thaw them
I will be there with rope and nets
And my arms as wide as they could ever open.

I shall endeavour to never let her fall
But if ever she slips between my fingers
I shall catch her
Softly, safely, securely.

She is everything
And I will never let her
Doubt or forget
It
Anything she needs
I shall strive to provide
It is entrenched deep within my heart
To ensure
She never wants for more.
