the only place 
 i care to be 
 is with him;
 all else is 
 just scenery;
 translucent bluish greenery 
 truly-
 and after all the battles 
 hard won
 to reach here;
 surely
 nothing; no single thing 
 could ever
 impress me 
 again
 tough, cold nobleman;
 except maybe 
 those 
 daisy chain hands
 or
 the soft skin
 of your chin;  
 so warmed now
 by that grin;
 my gentle boy-man
