Write me a romance that burns real slow
Stores up the heat that has no where to go
Pressures the kettle until the spout screams
Tension released in a torrent of steam
.
Make it a fantasy inside and out
Fill it with lore and with hearts that are stout
Test us with mystery, plague us with doubt
Build us a world that we can’t live without
.
Gift us a Warden that holds his own cage
A heroine born to challenge her fate
Give us emotion that weeps from the page
A grand epic penned by a consummate sage
.
Sit us inside the heart of the story
Too close to run from threat and from worry
Turning pages as fast and as slow as we might
Entranced by a myth from the ages, come to life
.
Myth become human with wings called at need
Keepers of balance diminished by greed
The watchers keep memory alive without cease
The order forgot that the bond must release
.
Yet paired with the one that history lost
A warden who cannot connect to the vow
The world will learn what history has not
Resonant truth that cannot be bound
.
Write me a romance that burns real slow
Stores up the heat that has no where to go
Pressures the kettle until the spout screams
Tension released in a torrent of steam
.
Make it a fantasy inside and out
Fill it with lore and with hearts that are stout
Test us with mystery, plague us with doubt
Build us a world that we can’t live without
This is beautiful. I love the rhyme
Roger… I don’t even know what to say. ❤️ This is one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. You didn’t just write a song…you listened. You saw the story I was trying to tell, wrapped it in music, and somehow gave it back to me in a way that made me hear it differently. I’m genuinely speechless. Thank you for your kindness, your creativity, and for believing in this world enough to sing it into existence. This birthday gift is one I’ll never forget. 💙
