Love Poem: Fortress

Fortress

I kiss your lips with angelic spirits
Swarming through the mud of the past 
Soaring though the sands of time, fearless
I am as stubborn as a bull, but free like air
I cover your beating heart with diamonds of my enthusiast
I sing your song with words of astrology, tearless
Am I clever to see the truth behind my hazel eye, so mysterious?
Am I witty to be a fool, a wonderful fool for your clearness?
My soul must be free, my heart must be yours in the stillness
There is no barrier between "I do" and "Till death do us part."
No decision after "Yes" no heartbreak to confess
The path is truly chosen by the truth
For I am a truth seeker in this world of lie speakers
Emotionless, some might say, crazy, I might say
But truth over self reflection reveals truth of core being
I may be wild and reckless 
But my dear, all the best people are
My fear is to never stop the search for growth
Like a shriveled black rose, blooming once again
For my Tauris has changed the color of the sky
The music in my step
The beat to my heart
And the air in my lungs
He kisses her lips with his soul
Swerving down a one way road of the future
Swirling through the feels of her touch
He is a raging bull with fire of such passion in his eyes
He covers her heart with diamonds of his love
He sings her song with sounds of astrology, wild and free
Is he so loyal to those hazel eyes, so mysterious?
Is he so entrapped by that beautiful little fool?
His soul is free, her heart is always his in stillness
On one knee with not even one blink of an eye
Looking deep into her soul, letting her in
Into his whole, even where the demons lay
He stands in awe to fight everyday
To save his love from the lightning she strikes
To never let the darkness into their fortress of flames and her soul
To never let the demon take him over blind
To have and to hold
For all the days of our lives
"I do"
"I do"
