They say that love is soft
Like willows blown by trees
that ebb and flow with grace
and bathe in sunlight
They say that love is beautiful
Like a flower freshly bloomed
that blinks into the summer
perfuming all who pass
They say that love is precious
Like a diamond freshly set
reflecting the sparkles
in the viewer's eyes
But I know a different love
I know a love that growls
standing majestic and muscled
That protects and paces fiercely
That devours and delights
I know a love that bruises
knees bloodied, standing still
Wiping sweat with dirt from brow
To step back in and fight
I know a love that burns
With heat to rival stars
Whose light reaches far
And guides through darkest night
I know a love that's silent
That waits and listens close
That whispers truth and smiles
That doesn't need to shout
The love I know is strong
And so am I
But you want easy
