The Poet's Cafe - Kyrielle Form - My Love and I

What do I look for and so long?
Eagerly accepting his charms.
Looking to his lover's song,
Ever abiding in his arms.

Trusting in his endearing care,
I do not have any alarms -
His loving laughter I don't share,
Ever abiding in his arms.

Nothing shall take me from my love,
I shall not come to any harm,
I will always be his beloved,
Ever abiding in his arms.
