Conquered by His Fierce and Tender Love

Two men embrace tenderly in warm light as a tiger watches beside them with calm strength

Have you ever felt a love so complete it both calmed your fears and set your soul ablaze?

Love’s intense fire burned within your deep eyes,
and your alluring gaze enslaved my heart.
Your warm, fragile tears revealed I am loved,
and love’s fiery blaze consumed my lost soul.

Enticing words of love flowed from your lips,
and your tenderness aroused my desire.
Your soft, sultry voice whispered I am loved,
and calm waters washed away my doubts.

Your protective arms wrapped me in true love,
and your embrace soothed the pain of my youth.
Your light caress made me feel I am loved,
and with a tiger’s strength you conquered me.

—H, held by hands that never let go
