An ode to a lover

An ode to my lover

I am happy for you to lean on me
when you are lost in your pain, at sea

I will be your shining light 
to guide you through this plight 

to safe through the storm
until the safety of the dawn

my love, you can count on me

whenever you need I’ll be there
any time, you need not be scared

I’ll help you, we’ll share the pain
let your tears flow, no need for shame

for my word is my honour, my honour my word
I shall never betray you,  the notion absurd 

my love, you can count on me

in my heart your secrets if you want you can confide
all the anguish you feel inside

for in my heart you can’t go wrong
this love for you is ever long

with deep emotions trying to break free 
the only able channel, through this poem to thee

my love, you can count on me

one month of beauty, seems an eternity 
lost within your mind, first time of love I only see

of memories of first encounters of sweet kisses and a of soft embrace
in a park of ever beauty, our forever place

lost in each others confiding eyes, with hypercritical hearts
showing our hearts, lover shall never be apart

for my heart is yours, now you see
my love, you can count on me
