I'd walk into a forest fire
Take on the latest gun for hire
To simply hear you whispering my name
Climb mountain peaks of snow and ice
Fall at your feet not once but twice
Slay all your demons strengthening my claim
I'd pocket you a twinkling star
To let you know I'd go that far
Dodge satellites and missiles fired my way
I'd lie beneath a Sherman tank
The quicksand where your heart was sank
I'd dive without distraction or delay
You open me up
To the sweetest of dreams
Sending shivers
The length of my spine
You open me up
As you silence my screams
When you tell me
You'll always be mine
You open me up
To an internal glow
Tickling at the core
Of my soul
You open me up
When you tell me you know
We two halves
May one day become whole

I will build you a castle with the tower so high it reaches the moon I’ll gather melodies from birdies that fly and compose you a tune
Such a poetic response Bobby
My own private write
Many thanks
I stole it from a Smokey song. Your lyrics and cadence reminded of song
I’ll try something new.
These actions made epics and universal love stories, truly a classic :I would carry the world on my shoulder, and die a thousand times each day, should your eyes say yes, none of it is a chore (translations from the lyrics of a Persian song) Thank you for writing this, Peto
What beautiful lines
thank you very much
Would you mind telling me the title
I'd love to hear that in its original language
Of course,
Dariush, Ejaze (permission) there are some mediocre lyrics translations, but as you know most poetry doesn’t translate well-his voice and emoting captures nonetheless.
