Wings

Life had no meaning before you
not really
one look in your eyes
all it took for this rook to see clearly
i nearly gave up many times
drew a line in the sand
as i planned to disband from real-time in decline
then the universe offered a sign
realigned my blurred vision
precision sublime
as the blindness subsided
my eyes then confided
a sight of angelic proportions
no need for precautionary measures to be taken
for my plot was nowise quite so vacant

of course there were fears
not too proud to admit this
just put them down to altitude sickness
need not God as my witness
have never flown higher
shall continue to soar
as our love hath no spire
you inspire everyday
through the way you attack every obstacle thrown in your way
no shortage of pride
ever more dignified
as you take expectations
and blow them away

you’re my Sweet Lady Grey
and so much more besides
you’re the girl in my dream
you’re my beauteous bride
shall love you some way past my brave heart’s last chime
then keep going
forgoing our flesh
showing no less than eternal devotion
defying laws of both gravity and motion
as we have and we hold
the most precious of things
pull the same heart-strings
as our one heart sings
to the tune of a love so much more than a love
a connection transcending our red and blue blood
one that weathers each storm cloud
by rising above
and i owe these divine wings of mine to you
my love
