Bountiful Offering
Fill me with your mundane tasks
Burden me with your yoke
Let me toil in silence
As I drink from your words
Share with me your dreams
Tell me your destinations
Let me walk beside you
As I commit to your cause
Take from me my muscles
Leave me weak in your presence
Let me lend my strength
As I shield you in my arms
Receive from me my blood
Adorn yourself in crimson splendour
Let our essences mingle
As we forge and bind this love
Burden me with your yoke
Let me toil in silence
As I drink from your words
Share with me your dreams
Tell me your destinations
Let me walk beside you
As I commit to your cause
Take from me my muscles
Leave me weak in your presence
Let me lend my strength
As I shield you in my arms
Receive from me my blood
Adorn yourself in crimson splendour
Let our essences mingle
As we forge and bind this love

Thank you Gabriel.

Thanks Poet
Still not sure about the last stanza - I feel it a little cliche or contrite... but it seemed to fit at the time.

Franko - Sometimes a poet is momentarily forced out of the box and made to see a perspective that draws on different strengths to write the words which bring a different vision. Sometimes all it takes is sitting by a pooside and watching the young play. Strange how inspiration comes from the most unlikely of places. Most enjoyed the 'bountiful offering' Franko. Namyh

Thank you Namyh.
I very much agree with you - this certainly started as something with different intentions, but ended up in a very pleasing place.
thank you for reading, and your wise words.
