Love Poem: Declaration

Declaration

I have suffered mistakes, 
each one a reminder 
of the fortune 
winging your smile 
to my door. 

I have tripped and fallen, 
each step a minefield 
to be loved 
surging my reason 
to the fore.

I have worn the crown, 
each thorn a Godsend 
in a way 
fitting my voice 
to the phrase.

I have clinched the moon, 
each night a changeling 
an adjustment 
setting my language 
to it's ways. 

I have struck on you, 
each touch a binding 
at the root 
bearing my being 
to it's rest. 

I have declared 
my confirmation 
of a love 
bestowed commitment 
to your bequest.
