Your Name

Your name is my prayer
whispered into the night;
causing demons from nightmares
to leave and take flight.

Your name is my armour
I wear round my heart;
it comforts and soothes
even when we’re apart.

Your name is my tonic
when sadness takes note;
it gladdens my being
and refreshes hope.

Your name is my banner
my song to the world;
it shows all around me
my passion unfurled.

Your name is my power
my strength deep within;
it protects me from evil
and banishes sin.

Your name is my blessing
my gift so profound;
a word of such beauty
could never be found.

Swim With Me

Swim with me in waters deep,
where moonlights shine doth fail
to reach.

Walk with me in forest dark,
where summers fire has yet
to start.

Run with me ‘cross pasture green,
where times sharp bite not felt
so keen.

Drift with me through dreaming dark,
where nightmares hounds not dare
to bark.

Stay with me in this warm glow,
where angels witness I love
you so.

For The Rest Of My Life

Their love burned
intensely like
tower aflame,
but life
in response
sought to dampen
and tame.

Barriers raised
with destruction
in mind,
not leaving
in peace
what was lucky
to find.

Admitting defeat
and preserving
their hearts,
realising
soon that
it’s better
to part.

Often they
caught up and
talked of their lives,
reliving the past
that was once
left behind.

But pain too
intense to think
what might be,
if chances were
taken to see
what’s to see.

He begs and
he pleads to
taste his sweet bliss,
to share with his
passion just one
final kiss.

But self preservation
is voiced while
she cries,
I’ll only kiss you
again if it’s
for the rest of my life.
