Come home
to be held close
in aching arms
empty too long.
I will wrap you in sunlight
rape the heaven of stars
adorn you in their splendour.
You alone will claim my seed,
harvest the fruits to be nurtured
with faithful devotion.
I will love you when you're sad,
tend you through life's trials.
Ours will be a love to last
until the time comes
to lay us down.
