My knight in shining armor, with ebony curls of hair...
As precious as the sun rising in the East...
Always watching over me with such tender care..
Upon you my eyes greedily feast
My precious love always a priceless treasure you are
I found you on a "www" walk, you are my shining star
Wandering spirit I was then with a broken heart
But still with enough belief in love though torn apart
You are my eternal, breath; my inspiration...
Always so understanding, always so forgiving...
You're the most precious part of all creation
You make my every day worth living...
It was not love at first, but friendship and more
Love was slow but soon was knocking on my door
You came to fulfill that missing part of me
Despite feeling love within I chose not to see
To me there can be none more perfect than you....
Do you know how much you mean to me?....
You are a magician,making my dreams come true...
You are to me what a knight in shining armor should be
And in time on a freezing December afternoon
I opened my heart and it was not too soon
For many days I left you to drown in silent tears
My insecurities loomed, was caught in my own fears
Without you, my life might be naught but dust...
You're my best friend, my love, keeper of my heart....
You are the one I love, the one in a million I trust...
I couldn't, let you go, without tearing my soul apart
Dropping hints so subtle that they were unseen
I now in hindsight wonder how I could have been
So cruel and not let my love for you show
And all the time you were torn almost ready to go
Something told me that if I didn't speak...
That what was lying there might fade away....
Always I have felt so verbally weak...
But I couldn't let you drift into another day
All the time your heart was mine to take
though insecure, love I did not forsake
Why was I so unsure I just wish I knew?
My heart mean while for you fonder grew
Now we stand together still, two years along
Making the best of the time we have together
Our spirits whisper the same melodious song
You are my love, my magician my knight forever
And I know you are mine forever and for always
Will listen to my heart and abide by what it says
We have faced some storms of late making us strong
Our braided souls now sing a melodious love song
Whatsinaname?...but my heart and all my eternal love
My precious genielassie my sweet kindly dove

I felt myself fall into this poem as if I was taken on a journey. This journey has had highs and lows but has stayed strong,,,just like love is supposed to be when the love is well rooted. The rhyme and flow of this seems like a gold trophy winner not a silver. I admire this well written poem and the emotions within it.

Braided Love
I love the title and idea of braided souls. I have never heard love or "soul mates" expressed in this fashion and yet seems fittingly perfect.
