You are a formidable woman.
Forgive me the term,
as I know woman has meant 'wife-man'
in times not quite yet past.

But in now, and in essence,
you are more than a dedicated string
to my bow of love,

but instead, and in spite
of life's unholy glow,
you're my confidant woman,
whilst the world is at war.


Be here now, and in essence
darling, as we scale through our European scape,
be here now, and in substance
woman, to splay out upon our infant coastal shore.
