Primal
As I look into your eyes
Listening to whimpering cries
I know I am smitten
Nothing can spoil
or attempt to foil
Because it has been written
From my strength you draw
life’s blood in your claw
as you take shelter
But the lies and conceit
will always repeat
Know that in hell you will swelter
For you I will fight tigers
And deal with the liars
In order to insulate
I promise to keep you safe
Until my hands are chafe
My life’s work to facilitate
Your beauty is brilliant
Your body resilient
You are surely tough
A blast from the skies
In rain it cries
No umbrella is enough
My love will you protect
and never neglect
as long as I do live
I’ll shelter you from harm
your enemies disarm
and forever forgive

Word Prompts:
I’m going through some of your poems here. You express yourself beautifully. I’m glad I found your blog.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
i take this today as prayer of protection over my own self, body and soul – i love it!
Thank you Gina. Btw, I saw you had a book review yesterday for the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, but then the post disappeared. I just wanted to say I saw the movie! I think it was a Netflix Production. What an amazing film! I loved it. The book must be equally, if not more so, enjoyable 🙂
it wasn’t meant to be published i accidentally copied it into a post when it should have been an article for some thing else. happy you caught a glimpse of it though and that you love the movie. it is one of my favourites. i have so many quotes from it and Lily James reminds me of myself, clumsy and over eager and believing in something bigger and better than herself. The book is just as amazing and i have a special place i keep it just so I can look at it as I dream of when my Heathcliff comes for me!
I’m sure you’re not clumsy at all 🙂. Heathcliff is out there and he’s looking for you. 💕
thanks Christine for your lovely words.
Beautifully expressed Christine.
Thank you Helene 💕
Beautiful and bold words Christine. ❤️
