I Swear

I Swear

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen

I Swear

If you breathe life into me,

I will live for you.

If you stop these tears

from stinging my cheeks,

I will give you the warmth of the sun.

If you chase my nightmares

from my sleeping head,

I will give you the moon

and all her daughters for your own.

And I will cherish each step you take,

kiss each raindrop before it kisses you,

and I will make to you

the sincerest promise of my heart.

And forever you will know love

and feel its arms holding you.

Forever you will have peace

in the certainty of devotion,

and in the simplicity,

and the truth,

of my adoration,

my affection

and my desire

for you alone.

Thgank you Leslie, every word etched on my heart.
I like the back and forth rhythm of the lines that made the flow seamless and sweet. this is a very heartfelt, tender plea from one heart to another of what it wants to give and what it needs.. it is open, honest, and real and in that very powerful.. well done as always..
