I saw this stunning, beautiful face and instantly I knew, That life and love and hope would gently follow through, A beauty to place my arms around, As I sit in awe, I wonder at the fortune that somehow such a girl as this I found,

Oh, to feel her skin press desperately against my skin, as we slow dance, in a trance, pushing the night demons far away, This is our castle, our loving cocoon, eye to eye and single-breath, this, this is where God with careful hands crafted me to stay,

We revolve, blind, entranced, floating in each others folds of consciousness, growing limb into limb, A love so bright and painfully pure that even the dawning sun seems somehow to respectfully dim,

This is what I see, For Emily and me,

A place where nothing that harms, Can reach her... safely protected... in the folds of my arms.................................
