"Love of Strength" by Suds-kun (Shaun Schillinger)


The tiger's strength,
  Can not compare.
Neither can
  The graceful swan.
The proud lion
  Does not dare.
To cross the line
  That you have drawn.

You are the best,
  In all you do.
The one, I'm told,
  Whom I should have.
Strong and free,
 Your spirit does go,
Too much for me,
  Your heart to have.

Inside your eyes,
  I long to see,
A look so tender
  And so soft.
But more and more,
  It seems to me,
Such feelings for me,
  I have lost.

Should I continue
  To seek my goal.
Or change the eyes
  That I gaze into.
Blue as the sky
  Or dark as coal
Love I hope for
  Or love I know.

Two strengths I see,
  One that I claim.
The other is offered
  To me with love.
More and more
  It is my aim
To be happy with one
  Who shows me love.
