My darling, my love,
Whose rapturous words ensnare me,
Bound eternal by your touch,
Your kiss, your love.
In all the heavens,
There is no other:
No brighter star to light my life,
No brighter sun to warm my heart.
Weightless, in your embrace,
The soft caress of your soul,
As from deep within me
something rises, surfacing from the depths,
Swanlike as it takes to wing,
Reaching for freedom in this dark cage:
To you.
To your love.
To your heart.
My love, to you.
