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
