Silence to a Lover Not Yet Found

I swear I’ll keep you safe and sound
A spot inside my heart, unbound
Of other passing fancies,
Ready a fist of pansies
And lavender, waiting for
Your shoes to walk through my door.
Settle there, you sweet pilgrim.
I don’t ask for children,
No engagement ring for me.
I am just making it known
About the spot I have grown,
A spot for you that is free.
