Love Poem: Safe Harbour

Safe Harbour

Sweetling,
the ground is steady here
come, stand beside me
let the world shift and tremble;
still, we remain.
      We are unshaken.

My Dream,
the space is small,
yet dreams unfold,
and no walls confine us.
let us build wonders to the horizon
and monuments that kiss the sky.
      Our story never ends.

My Heart,
the shadows stir with monsters lurking
but they cannot reach us.
Here, we are untouchable,
protected by belonging.
Hold my hand,
and the darkness cannot take us.
      We cast the dark away.

My Star,
a roaring flame burns bright between us
it never flickers nor will it wane,
in its glow, we are immortal,
and kept warm for all our days.
      Let it light the way.

My Love,
this is our place, our safe harbour,
uncharted and unspoiled, our love the only port.
we build it within the folds of time,
a space where we are safe,
a place where we are whole.
      Close your eyes, we are home.
