Magyar

By Nullus

My Reading:

I’ve seen you from the distance and longed for your embrace.
You fill my heart with hope and desire.
My love for you was etched in my genes.
My need draws me to your fire.

Your soul bears the scars of a thousand years of struggle.
Yet you remained strong, valiant and true.
You’ve taught me to accept sacrifice.
As I learn to find a way to you.

Through happenstance and love my existence was conceived.
My parents reared on your beautiful culture.
A cold and foggy November morning.
They fled the grasp of the vulture.

My life defined by the world you left my family.
While I’m far, you will keep the door ajar.
It’s what it was always meant to be.
I will be your faithful Magyar.
