Promise
by Maria KintnerYou will always have me.
Because I am A Warrior,
they say.
And I am used to putting on my pants,
and standing up straight
in the storm.
My secret is not my hair,
or the treasures of my kingdom.
I do not own knowledge that
transcends fear.
But only that I know your face,
and can close my eyes to see it
in its every angle.
Only that I hear your voice,
and know it when you call me.
You are my essential, and my pieces
fit, because of you.
And you will always have me.

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/28/07 at 03:26 PM Into my favorites. so perfect, no ordinary love, but that of a "Warrior", one who knows how to "stand up straight in a storm". And the way you have expressed "But only... you are my essential" yes! I love and feel these line by heart. |
