Oath To An Apparition
My Sweet Darling ...
You are the sentinel of my soul and the keeper of the keys to my heart! You are the
Arrow sent forth from the bow of the heavens to pierce my spirit with love
Everlasting! Oh, how the Sun blushes each morn in reverence of your smile! How the
Moon wistfully pales with the knowledge that my nights are now yours - complete,
Passionate, and sublime! With each warming summer rain, the sky itself weeps with
Envy, that it no longer holds your favor as I do! My beloved one, I give to you now in
The sacred sight of Heaven, the hand that was created to meld with yours - the space
Between each finger measured for the grasp of thine, just as each star was meant for
Its place in the sky - as perfect, as shimmering, and as eternal! Let us go forth into
Life as the pillars of a shrine - each in its own strength, but together, stronger still.
Let me swim up the river of your spirit and dance with you on the shores of wonder,
Give me the honor and blessing of shaping your smile, of being the bright of your
Days and the comfort of your nights! Allow me the bounty of being your shoulder of
Solace and support, and kissing away your tears! But most of all, let us embrace the
Joys and sorrows of life as ONE, from the morning of our lives together, to the setting
Sun of our later years. I pledge all that I am and believe, to the magnificent soul I
Know you shall always be, and the dulcet lyric of love we shall sing as one voice ...
My Dear, Precious Love!
