Love’s Prisoner
-by MVB
Silence my eyes, to hear no other beauty
For tasting yours forever, is enough
Release my dreams, for they have done their duty
To touch your voice, and feel your astral laugh
Envelop me in love’s sweet agony
And touch my soul with sparkles of your heart
And dazzle me with your cosmogony
The stars deep in your eyes will play the part
Surrender me to your divine attraction
And let me revel in your blissful kiss
Dispose of me in your complex contraption
But leave me in so I can be remiss
Don’t torture me with promises elapsing
And vanishing when your eyes are closed
But spoil me with your embrace amassing
And let my kiss awake you when you dozed
Imprison me in liberating chambers
Feelings lay dormant, awake them now in me
Deliver me from chains of sweet surrender
The prisoner of love that’s never meant to be
