i would ride for you

(Oh give me a saber and give me a horse, and let me ride with you, my liege! Let glory alone make what it will of me, Only bless em, by sword and shield. For I would ride for you.)

i would ride for you
in the heat of the day
blistered with kisses from the morning sun

i could do that for you,
while i sing of your name
to the gods of this world
as i laid perfection at their golden feet

i would dance before you
like the bride of your night
clothed in the beauty
that reflected from your face

i could do that for you,
while my heart beat with fear
and my breasts heaved with joy
for the love that lie waiting for you to discover

i would give of myself
before i asked of you
letting all my good intentions wash over you
like the supple rains of my desire

i could do that for you,
while i'm lost in the kiss
ripe for the press
in need of only you

before - after
