Our Love Rhythm

I once thought love was a farce, every iota of my being thought it wasn't true.

You came into my life like a whirlwind,

Gave it calm and I knew love was you.

You are all that I have longed for, you have made my dreams come true. 

There is no greater gift to have than being loved by you

My love for you is like a rose in full bloom,

With you by my side, you bring light into any room.

Your feathery touch and soothing whispers

makes me fall for you anew,

you make "together forever" sound like fervent prayers on my lips.

Amidst chocolate tales and perfume presents, you're my sweetest tale.

On these winds of love I sail, taking in the sweet scents of merry days.

-

Say, whose voice lulls the night's anger?

whose feet do I follow on unhappy roads?

whose light keeps the sun burning?

Yours, my own, yours alone.

That lost feeling

that gifted me a full emptiness. 

That lost feeling

now covers me in a tingling

tranquility. Since I found you–

My love– I've learnt to caress

That lost feeling.

Say love is for fools

We're just tools

Lost in the cruise of

a dark blue pool of memories,

Memories I would love to forget, forget they were once true.

I've found a virgin mouth to kiss my virgin lips.

I've found the kiss of

kisses.

Together, we're, in eternity, locked

in love

I want to be your lower lip, with the hopes that your teeth give me hickeys, and that your tongue soothes the pain.

I want to be yours, yours to do as you wish.
