Unbridled Love

Kings and Queens of happiness

Reign in their supreme willingness and vulnerability 

To allow another soul Into the window of self

Into the long shadow that may creep

And so soon may subside with true love

Our battles, sometimes so personal

So real and reflective of fear 

Become less if only in inches

As another holds our hand with care

Is willing to carry a conceived burden

Sees us as we believe and hold in our hearts

The measure we might have to maintain

As our shadow self also opens a window

Into you, into another 

That breathes into my love with no shame

Only sincerity

Integrity

Grit 

and full of brave honesty 

That will last us all our days
