Amor gignit amorem

From that first glance
That kindled a wish
And sent shivers down your spine
To the echoes of those two words
That fulfilled it
And has all gathered at an auspicious clime
Lies the labyrinthine quest
To win her heart; your treasure chest

Known to few
Are the dragons you slew
Known to some
Are the days you braved the storm
Known to more
Is you've become her knight in shining armor
And known to all
Is today you walk down the aisle with your love

To love and be loved
Comes with joy
To have and to hold
Calms the soul
Amor gignit amorem
When your heart falls victim
Of love's tender ploy
What would you have the poor thing do?

Shakir.
This piece is dedicated to a colleague and friend, a man of honor (Pharm Elvis Anyaibe) as he prepared to take a stroll down the aisle.
