As my heart does take each beat
I seek my dear lover's own
In my soul a flame does leap
Deep seeds of love are sewn

Your heart, I cherish as though it mine
With your soul I am forever united
Your touch, your kisses, as if a wine
Intoxicating, lingering, I am delighted

The eternal flame from which love comes
Passions derived from our bodies mingling
My pledge to you of all I was and become
Until the end of time's eternal greeting

Darkness covers more than light
Swiftly troubled moments in flight
Fears entangled in troubled times
We fight against them in our might

Shades of blues bring only views
Of sad reflections hidden from sight
Farther still are deeper hues
In motions held in suspended heights

We seek our truths at every turn
Lies formed as time becomes years
Silently we look back and yearn
For those we held true and discern

For those lost in times of turmoil
To find again true spirit's kin
Seek love from inside before without
You find the kindest of love within

Slipping in and out of my dreams
Soft touches and urgent kisses
Remembered and met with bittersweet
Peace leaves my heart, my soul left in reality

Dreams are best left to dreamers
I find myself caught in the mist
Of sweet touches and small smiles
Red rose pedals as soft as your lips

I'm awakened to be next to nobody
A feeling my body cannot stand
I force myself back from reality
To the dream where I'm holding your hand
