Every night beneath the stars the story is the same
My heart and soul whisper one silent name
In many ways this is a very new territory
Many times I wonder if I’m still ambligatory
Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat?
Why feels my heart its long forgotten heat?
I opened my eyes and formed thee of angelic kind
Some emanation of the all beauteous mind
Back through the heights of pleasing sense I fell
When I saw an angel whom I called a girl
I bid my head call my heart to question
Truth be told I wasn’t used to this kind of tension
But I can no more suppress the emotions on my part
Now I excuse the blush and pour out all my heart
Heaven first taught letters for some lover’s aid
For the words left unsaid and the plans to be made
I live, I speak, and I breathe what love inspires
Warm from the soul and faithful to all its fires
How often when called to question have I said
Woe to all laws but those which love has made
And along you came to steal my noble heart
To prove for once that angels live on earth
To your charms I resign, to your lovely form I yield
Fair eyes and tempting looks, what power these two wield
Come with one glance of those enchanting eyes
Blot out the bright idea of the eternal skies
I beheld thee once; I prayed and asked for more
I have not the strength to stay away anymore
I thought I built a fortress, I called it impregnable
I felt I had a crystallized core, I named it impermeable
In one fleeting moment, the fortress was gone; the crystal was in your hand
I was taken aback; I had to ask myself where you found the magic wand
Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow
Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow
In seas of love my plunging soul is drowned
While my heart is ablaze and my head trembles round
In all things we do there might be a sense of regret
But love is sure the hardest science to forget
Once brave and proud, I now lack basic courage
Maybe I’ll walk up you after I put my soul on mortgage
Perhaps sometimes I dream of you, I tell no lies
To dream once more, I close my willing eyes
Come! With your looks, your words, relieve my woe
But even those are yours alone to bestow
When at certain moments, I remember your name
I ask myself again how I caught the flame
From opening skies, your ageless beauty shines
And springs forth my long forgotten flowing lines
Many times, I placed my pen above my heart’s desire
Not now though, all I know is a strange consuming fire
I love you more than life itself
In a way that I can’t explain to myself
I love you for your unique loveliness
I love you for your fiery tenderness
I love your dark alluring hair
I love your ***** so ample, your figure so rare
I love your special enchanting eyes
I love you truly I tell no lies
I love your swaying **** hips
I love your tempting sensuous lips
I love your charming inviting voice
I love you baby there’s no other choice
Not fame or glory, not adulation or praise, love is my only call
Sad to say but truth be told, if I lose thy love, I lose my all!
