By Love

If beauty rests in the beholder's eye
Then now these eyes are sated
If rapture in the soul resides
Then now this soul is fated
If loves warm glow all need fulfills
Then now and on from all lifes ills
I am protected
By love
For you

If dawns cold mists my body chill
If fiercely blow the winds so shrill
If natures fangs are bared, saliva dripping
If on lifes icy path I find I'm slipping
I am protected
By love
For you

Ensorcelled am I, entrapped, ensnared
A victim willing, no struggle, prepared
To submit my heart to you to enfold
As willingly I will yours also hold
A word, a glance, each a valued treasure
To add to a limitless list of pleasure
To be gained from simply having you
And knowing that amazing fact so true
We are protected
By love
We share
