Soft Silver Chains

You came to me and loved me for who I am
It was beyond my wildest dreams,
You touched me so deeply with everything I needed
It left me speechless and entranced,

I had waited all my life
For someone who needs me and understands,
I'll follow you now, into your destiny
Finally a winner who'll never lose again,

So enchanted
That you could love me
For no one has ever taken the chance,
Now I live for this love
Happily bound to your heart
Forever beside you and proud to be your man :

Take me
Like an angel
You hold my promise in your hands,
This love washes over me like warm summer rain
Wraps around my heart like soft silver chains ;

Tell me I am the reason
You can smile now in your sleep,
You wear my love like heaven
I am the song you sing,
I can lock away your pain
Keep your heart warm and safe
With a love as strong as soft silver chains ;

Love today is so hard to find
So many live their whole lives
Without ever knowing it's name,
For such a long time this was my fear,
That I'm not one of the lucky to ever win this game,

So when I gave up the fight so many years ago
To accept this fate of  loneliness and pain,
I found the solace in your smile,
That light of life behind your eyes,
I realized how lost and empty I was inside,

It was dangerous to believe in you
I wanted to run from more of the same,
Then suddenly I was so alive with love and light
That two with nothing became one with everything :

How it saved me
You are my angel
Hold me close in your arms everyday,
This love washes over us like warm summer rain,
Wraps around our hearts like soft silver chains,
So believe me
You are the reason
I can smile now in my sleep,
It has taken away the heartache
Locked away the past and pain
With a love like soft silver chains,

With a love as strong as
Soft silver chains :

    Would it be okay with you if I printed this out to give a copy to my fiance? This sounds almost like he wrote it. It's beautiful!

          Here's to the assurity that he remains safe and comes home to you quickly. I don't write many soft/love pieces as dark meloncholy emotional angst seems to be my forte' but I do occasionally get that vibe. I greatly enjoy it when the muse allows me to go in that direction, I've always liked this piece a great deal.

            My modus operandi appears to be both angsty and loving. That's what the majority of my pieces are, anyhow. Maybe it's just a reflection of the life the poet has lived?
            We may never know.
            I like this one quite a lot as well.
