i put you here. being my

silver crosses and dripping garlic clusters.

my painted doorways your blood protects

i fear no plague nor death nor life,

moving within your touch when darkness dawns

i lift my head, coolly probe the gloom,

no force holds retribution, torment or threat,

but yours, timeless anchorage.

hold my fingertips to your heart

whose brave beats alone will imperil peril,

affirm my liberty.

trust paves where you move and lead:

the light that will pilot this love through the night

the dark to protect this love from the light .
