Summer skies are your eyes
Crater lakes are your eyes
Mixing a thousand essences
And perfectly clear.
You nourish with depth
You heal with richness
You strenghten with empathy
You dissolve all of life
And you are perfectly clear.
Each moment with you is an orchid in bloom
A flutter of butterfly wings
Each moment with you is a lapping ocean
Running through hearts and dissolving
All that the mind brings in.
A fish in the brook will swim
All his life upstream
To find you.
A stork in the sky will fly
All autumn
To be near your warmth.
Light from a star will run
For years across the void
To caress you.
I will love you
Until the end of time.
What if my passion were incoherent
What if I dealt only gestures and motions
What if I knew no words
To tell you my love?
I would invent a new language
I would found a new country
I would start a new religion
To tell you my love.
Time disappears into a black hole
When I am around you.
Earth vanishes from beneath me
When I am around you.
Disaster can't touch me
When I am around you.
Around you, the only thing real
Is you.
Your hair is a million meteors
Raining sky fire
And lighting the earth
Your lips are streams of lava
Burning through the land
Your neck is an avalanche
Running down the mountain
Your breasts are the bosoms of Planet Earth
You are peace and war
You are time and eternity
And your eyes are crater lakes
Where I'd like to take a swim.
