Still beats within my ribs a tender heart's tune,
A heart that loves you and loves the universe's boon.
Did God create in your face a radiant moon?
Yet, each time I see it, it turns into stone, maroon.

In your presence, I see nothing but your grace,
Within me echoes a word, "I love you," in every space.
I never knew the meaning of this feeling, alas,
Now I burn with love, seeking the world's pardon en masse.

Love I found in the deep sea of your eyes so bright,
I cannot escape its depths, O my angelic light.
The deeper I dive, the more love and passion I find,
As if I am burdened with a mountain in my mind.

A sea of love overflows from your captivating gaze,
I pray to God to keep you in His divine embrace.
Be gentle with me, for I can't bear this fervent dream,
Grant me strength to endure the weight of this extreme.

Would you repeat to me what my eyes and ears fail to hear?
And reassure me that it's not a dream, allay my fear.
I love you, I love you, my lips repeat a thousand times,
Don't be surprised, for from the unbelievers, love climbs.

It's your beauty, my beloved, that unveiled love's truth,
In your eyes, the tender feelings find their veracious booth.
In your eyes, the sea of darkness finds its rest,
Be gentle with my heart, be gentle with my quest.

For you, my heart understands the meaning of its beat,
It yields love, loyalty, and tenderness so sweet.
With a word from you, I am forever alive,
With a word from you, the full moon does thrive.

With a word from you, my tears transform into laughter,
And my heart melts, and my ribs part thereafter.
I hear the echo of your heart's beat in my soul's domain,
Don't ask how the world fares without you, in my joy and pain.

Your love's tempestuous winds have swept me away,
So pity me, for I belong to your love, come what may.
I came to you to hide from life's fears so dire,
As if torn apart, I said, "I love you," when your heart did inquire.

From you, I found more than love or mere admiration,
Before your lips utter, wounds and dreams find liberation.
Come closer, and wipe away the pain and sorrow,
Come closer, for in you, I see no tomorrow.

Come closer, I don't want to remember who I used to be,
For I've achieved the dream, I've achieved the fantasy.
Come closer, the closer you get, the nearer I come,
Don't ask how I survive without you, I've already won.

Come closer and hold me tight, come close to me,
So I forget the taste of sadness and misery.
Come closer, don't leave me, come ever near,
Come closer and don't forsake me, my dear.

Come closer, I want to hear the silence of your lips,
Don't ignore my heart, which to you, in longing, flips.
My feelings rush towards you like flowing waters grand,
How can I halt them, stirred by winds so wild and unplanned?

Was I alive before this moment, I wonder aloud,
Or was time harsh, with its heavy, relentless shroud?
Since I saw you, I gained a sense of being,
Together forever, I pray, in the All-Seeing.

How swiftly the times change their tune,
The evening turns lovely from a harsh, cold moon.
You gave my heart its life and song anew,
And it forgets all the pain it once knew.

No matter how many times I say "I love you" it's not enough,
No matter how far I gaze, my eyes reveal love's tough.
Your love shone upon me, a gleam of light so pure,
Like an oasis amidst the deepest, darkest moor.

Your love appeared like the dawn breaking the night,
It illuminated the wilderness with goodness, bright.
Come closer, I want to feel happiness and bliss,
Come closer, you're all life is, all my wish.
