The Love Is Deep

Aching amber echoes  

Bloom beneath your breath

Crimson currents circling  

Down the dimmest depth

Every ember rising  

Flares in folded light

Golden glimmers growing  

High beyond the night

Ivory whispers wander

Jade soft shadows keep  

Keenly carved devotion

Love is deep

Love is steep

Love is rooted in the quiet  

Midnight of your sleep

Nectar warm and woven

Opal dreams that stay

Pearled pulse of promise  

Quiets every fray

Rivers run in secret

Silk slow through the heart

Tides of tender thunder  

Under every part

Velvet vows unbroken

Winds that will not leave

Xyloid roots of longing  

Yield to what we weave

Zenith of forever

The love is deep

And deeper  

Still
