A Poem by Sam Casey

Written by Sam Casey as a guest submission!

By the Gods, I'll love you until eternity,

I'll scale a mountain and capture the golden fleece

If that will give me a moment with you at peace.

I'll never let something stand between you and me I'll fight every dragon and kill every swine Who dares bar your body from my loving arms

I'll always keep you safe, protect you from harm

For nothing will keep me from claiming what's mine

I'll need no rope to tie me to the mast

For siren songs will not distract my love for you

And when death beseeches to tear you away

I'll raise the sword of Hercules and cast Him down, I'll suffer the wrath of Gods, undo

The will of Fate, before I let my love for you sway
