Fathomless eyes, a burning heart
Entangled limbs refusing to part
So I sigh, a cynic, snort and say
'Is this all? Your love to stay?'
'My love to stay?' a raised brow
'Does it stay? You tell me how'
The whispers in my hair tell a sweet tale
'A singular ivory mermaid's scale
In Pacific's pit, place sunlight can't breach
That is where my love could reach
And it glows, ignites the silent waves
It flows from the depths of darkness's caves
If that is where an atheist would pray
That is where my love would stay
A formless cloud in an ashen sky
Heavy with drops yearning to fly
Longing to fly so they could touch
The wisps of the wind they could clutch
Hold eternity a moment, then disappear
That is where my love would appear
And it would set fire to the sun
Tangerine shades in azure to stun
If that is where the devil won't play
That is where my love would stay
Pearly drops on writhing grass
A hint of green in a field of brass
Aching, arching for the rain to come
Waiting some more then waiting some
Where there is but a boundless dearth
That is where my love would take birth
And it would flood the waiting field
The lifeless spirit of death would yield
If that is where a reaper would pay
That is where my love would stay
A speckled trout in a silver river
Plunging, rising so silver would quiver
Sieving sun streaming through canopies great
Hoping then urging the trout to wait
But on it goes pickled with passion
That is where my love would reveal compassion
And it would follow the turnt trout
Then fuel it some more with cheers stout
If that is where the sun would sway
That is where my love would stay
Fierce eyes or pools of glamour
Skin sweet where a heart would stammer
Wild ringlets weaving a vivid plot
Pulling a little, then pulling a lot
Freckles, stars, sepals of calendula
That is where my love would be a nebula
It would end and begin, a luminous charm
An entire universe in a dainty palm
If that is where you choose to lay
That is where my love would stay'.
