forever you are mine, lost in sweet attention
love sublime, our love, so precious and so rare
bears roots of great depth and strength
withstanding the storms of emotion that come
to uproot and steal away this bond between us
there's no path too difficult to traverse
that we cannot conquer them one by one
with my hand in yours, two pulses unite
one heart, one soul, one mind
gentleness and tenderness, encapsulating all
the frangrance of love, musky and intoxicating
falls upon us from paradise, like eiderdown
our perfect union melds with nature's own lust
