There is a strong wall about me to protect me: <br />It is built of the words you have said to me. <br /> <br />There are swords about me to keep me safe: <br />They are the kisses of your lips. <br /> <br />Before me goes a shield to guard me from harm: <br />It is the shadow of your arms between me and danger. <br /> <br />All the wishes of my mind know your name, <br />And the white desires of my heart <br />They are acquainted with you. <br />The cry of my body for completeness, <br />That is a cry to you. <br />My blood beats out your name to me, unceasing, pitiless <br />Your name, your name.<br /><br />Mary Carolyn Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-song-48/
