“Into A King” – Into A King – 2011

It started harmless enough
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed

You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope

And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I have known

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from a maiden to a queen

continued and softened us up
our rocks are hewn by this water of love
and steadfast: our pinky swear

and out comes fun
out comes relief
out comes championing unlike any I have known

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from a maiden to a queen

And how far have we come
how far we’ve yet to go
til we’re gray great grandparents
til we’re one tiny little wrinkle
I say I do I do I do

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from a maiden to a queen

And so, we’ll trapse from paper through diamonds
A family tree’s genesis
Our fingers t’wining together

And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest

Happy anniversary baby
you’ve gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I’ve gone from a maiden to a queen

    BTW – I love my avatar – i actually wear glasses and I have a black mustache/goatee. LOL. It was hilarious to see that avatar be selected for me. I’m just not jaundiced – i.e. yellow. haha
