He made me feel like a woman

Something to be desired

Something beautiful to behold

Something precious in his arms

 

My love whether he be of the light

Or of the dark doesn’t matter

For how I felt was all

that was true

All the tides that swelled in me

Beneath the currents of my seas

 

My lover protects me

And stands by me

 

To be cherished and adored

Our love shall end

materially, but spiritually

will live forever more

 

Death shall not find us

 

To the world a pansy he

may appear to be

due to his gentility

 

But in my heart

a rose unblemished

whose beauty is to be

treasured deep within

my soul
