Oath


Written in 2001, published in the 2003 edition of Labyrinth.

Oath

 

I have given you my word,

I have given you my honor,

I have given you my heart.

 

This is my Oath,

This is my Measure,

This is my decree.

 

I will always be there for you;

In times of sorrow,

In times of happiness.

 

I will love you

I will guard you

I will protect you.

 

Ever will I be by your side.

Ever-vigilant

And never judging.

 

I say this to my lady,

This goes out to my queen,

I lay my heart on your altar my goddess.

 

In it’s beating,

You can make out these three words,

I love you.
