My Hero

It was a cinnamon kiss
 she wore that brown shade
it's there on the glass
where she sipped lemonade
  her eyes were the sunset
a bottomless blue
with pale flecks of gold
full of secrets she knew

  He was the hero
who won at the games
tall,undefeated and
ever untamed

  their touch charged the ocean
with Saint Elmo's Fire
their kiss,such emotion
could only burn higher

   they melded together
as silver pulls gold
their atoms intwining
a sight to behold

  an innocent kiss
to a bright conflagration
cinnamon flames
from an infatuation

but today she resides in a land
by the sea
and he folds the laundry
at home here with me

  forgiveness is golden
and so I forgave
love can't be a servant
it won't be a slave

  she may be cinnamon
she may be fine
but at the end of the story
the hero is mine
