Live To Die

Folder: 
The Romantic Bard

Sweet lover, thou hast captured all

The thoughts escaped from lips

And I can close my eyes and trace

The trails of fingertips.

And well beyond the chambers door

Where all your manna lies

I fell in love with mind and heart

Before the passion sighs.

For you are more than sweetest dreams

More still than bragging rights

And you have claimed this sword of mine

And soared to godly heights.

And wouldst I be but just a child

To not delight in thee?

And lose my breath in vision quest

Of treasures that I see.

For I find pleasure with each touch

By sight, by soul, or dream,

And I will feed my heart tonight

Beyond the thrills of scream.

Yes, now my love you know the truth

Desire has filled my soul,

But, I will ne'er be satisfied

With part instead of whole.

As many as the stars of night,

Or sands beyond the sea,

They measure nowhere close to all,

The joys I find in thee.

And I beseech ye now my love,

To hear in pauper's tone,

That I wouldst give the world away,

To be but near your throne.

And feel the magic you bestow

With every breath released

And taste your nectar pure and sweet

In bliss of slumber's feast.

For therein lies the secret

To this life I call my own

I live to die in love with thee

Through words expressed and shown.
