Long due and completely true

It has been long
Since I wrote a song
A streak of love sublime
On the vast canvas of time

When it entered my life
I was fraught with strife
Watching myself with a wary eye
Wrestling with demons of years gone by

But it was insistent and patient
It came at a good time too - perfectly stationed
I forgot to look back
Under its persevering attack

A year, two - under the sun
Enough for me to know it was the one
So I bound it to me more tight than anything
And now I wear it on my hand in the shape of  a ring
