You tenderly carve, day and night
my heart with your chisel, sharp, incisive
as if it's a block of alabaster, at your disposal
chosen to create your one true masterpiece.
I believe in you,and submit, why? I can't really tell
Isn't it true love, that transcends limits of thought?
I let you do it as I can see it pleases you the most,
after the moment your eyes had fallen on mine first
and stood still; I saw a divine excitement on your face.
Is it pleasure or pain?I can't answer that question
I love you, and want you to do what pleases you the most.
My muse said, "Don't let her do this, she doesn't know
it's true worth, she'll ruin it in her, enthusiasm without limits"
I said in a whisper "I've hopelessly fallen in love, for ever"
I'd be your monument of whatever, success or failure,
I feel the forces of nature that decide what it turns out, at last
and I listen to the sound of hammer on the chisel and patiently wait.
