Fallin'

She crept along
Silently,
Steadily.

Along the outer perimeter
The guards on duty
Were on high alert,
Senses attuned.

Still she crept,
Like a ninja,
She breached the defenses,
Like knife through butter.

O'er the hills and valleys and plains
She journeyed.
Inching her way closer
With each mile traversed.

Like a thief in the night
All clad in black
She snuck past
Patrolling knights

Past the moat
Past the turrets
Into the courtyard
Into the chambers

In the deepest part of the castle
Where scarcely a handful had ventured
She encountered,
The Warrior.

She came prepared;
One in full battle attire,
One clad in nary a defensive outfit,
Armed only with items in a pouch.

Into Warrior's face,
She threw.

Effort.
A stumble.
Then came Sincerity.
A swoon.

Next was Care.
Armor striped.
Last was Heart.
A transformation.

You,
Are that ninja,
That thief in the night.

And you,
Brought along
A whirlwind of emotions.

A kaleidoscope of colors,
Yet, in the eye of it all,
You're an anchor amidst the chaos.

You wormed your way into my life
And heart
And I hope, you'll never leave.
