I was but a faithless faithful married to my odes
A paradox of love and hate
A chainless slave of death
The master of a destiny roaming down lonesome roads
You came one day and I knew what to expect
Dark-red roses and a month for my heart to wreck
Like many of my poems, this love too will come to dust
In the comfort of the night, this bond will start to rust
But your light is stronger than my pessimism
Like a blanket in a stormy night, you envelope me
The touch and warmth of your skin tells me to believe again
In the vision of a tomorrow where I’ll never be alone again
With your lips, I remember my youth and hopes and dreams
With your hands, you take me back before I began to fear
With your tongue, you breathe life to my long-lost faith in heaven
With your eyes, I begin to hope and love again
And so then I took down my Berlin Wall,
Forgetting my sorrow and fear to fall
The Cold War is now over and the Sun has come
Here comes the Summer I've waited years to come
A puzzle I want to unravel,
You upped my curiosity
You bring more questions than answers
Testing my long-held tenacity
Years of reasons have finally abandoned my sanity
What is left is your voice and the visions of our promises
Gone are the days I preferred Rand and Hegel than your predictable daily updates
I now only crave for your fucked-up emojis and monotonous 'Hi's' and 'Hey's'
Wreathe me with your holy Marian poetry
As I undress my Peregrine peculiarity
Cast away the bedlam of the world
And cover me with your celestial words
If this love is a game of dark and light
Take me to Bethlehem where the stars breathe life
I'll lead you to my deepest sorrow
Off to Gethsemane our hearts shall go
Nicely done
