A Viking God

Thor

I fell in love this summer
       in the northern
  Minnesota woods

Thor, a Viking god
    resident
  of this refurbished
Methodist Church
    transformed
      to a medieval bed and breakfast

          devotion
surprising and unplanned
  I just could not
     help myself

coal black hair and
           onyx colored eyes

  

drawing me into

             his soul

dusky shadowy eyes

   filled with loyalty

      dedication not often seen

attentive
 supportive
  loyal
   constant
committed
    affectionate
      adoration
         all there
   freely given to me
      patiently
no strings attached
  not needing any response
     

 happy to sit by me

to stare at me

  to smell my scent

and maybe

    if I was willing

waiting for

        a scratch behind his ear

           or for me to softly speak

      his name

Thor, my love
            the innkeeper’s
            Great Dane!
