How was I so fortunate as this:
To win a heart so fiery as yours?
So fierce, so proud, and yet so delicate;
Steel wrapped in velvet, gentle to my touch;
Stronger than me in oh so many ways,
Yet yielding to the caress of my hand;
An anchor for my drifts of fantasy;
A muse to summon words unto my tongue;
A spirit that can match my roguish imp
And give me back as good in my own trade.
You who see me ruly as I am,
With all my faults, with all my might have beens;
You give me reason to keep dreaming dreams,
And fill my nights with passion and desire.
A grand adventure I once promised you,
Yet you have given far more back to me.
And I cannot imagine living life
Without you, where you've gotten neath my skin,
Into my blood, my heart, my soul, my wife.
