My heart glows with Hope
Feeling your warmth
I have become the sunflower to your star
Something I see outside my cell
Pierces my shadows
As if a message Heaven sent
Touches me through your hand
And softly caresses me
With your adoring gaze.
Listen how such elegant words
My tongue professes
I am the troubadour singing your praises
From the deep blue oceanic depths
Rises effervescent emotions
As if fire from Mother Earth
Pronounces my affection
For you in everything
Love shares freely between us.
The unconditional regard I seek
Manifests in my soul
Transforms dreams I cherish in your arms
Your look, your breath
Your body so soft are
So close nothing comes between us
Only kindness and kisses
Palpitations of pleasure
Perpetuates in eternal orbit.
