To the Object of My Affection

When night eclipses all you know,
When darkness obscures what light should show,
Know that you are in my sight
And I’ll help distinguish wrong from right.
My power is with you wherever you go.
I’ll walk with you through rivers or snow.

Through darkness and pain, we shall persevere;
Through despair and sorrow, I shall adhere;
Through death and destruction, we shall prevail
Till morning casts back the devil’s veil.
Through trial and turmoil, I shall be there
To guard you and protect you from evil in the air.

Fear not, my friend, do not be discouraged
For though through fear your lands are ravaged
I shall stay by your side till morning light appear
And dark shall never win so long as I am here.
Know that I am by your side, my friend,
And I’ll stick with you to the very end.

Whenever life brings you down,
Know that I am always around
To comfort and console you through the storm’s eye;
To guard and reassure you that what you see is no lie.
To help regain strength when your life force is out
To guide you when you don’t know what life’s about.

If you’ll just listen carefully to me,
Then very soon you’ll see
I have a heart that will remain true;
A heart constantly open to you.
Containing a decision that will never alter;
Revealing a love that will never falter.

Now my heart has never said
The desires kept inside my head
And when I realized I never told you,
It made me discover that I was a fool.
Now there’s only one thing left to say:
Please be here by my side to stay.

awwwI really liked that. It was full of honesty and sincireity for your love of someone. they're lucky to have this written about them.

Hey there Dallas! Haven't seen you around these parts, so you must be new. I'm Angel of Death but everyone just calls me Angel. Welcome to YWS!! I hope you're enjoying yourself here.

Well anyways, I quite like this, usually I rant on about how the rhyme of the poem eats up the message the writer is trying to get across but I feel that this was executed well and that your message was beautiful and this was quite romantic.

Favorite Stanza:

Through darkness and pain, we shall persevere;
Through despair and sorrow, I shall adhere;
Through death and destruction, we shall prevail
Till morning casts back the devil’s veil.
Through trial and turmoil, I shall be there
To guard you and protect you from evil in the air.
