If my heart could speak
It would shout your name,
My love, I would risk my life's flame
To climb that highest peak;
To reach the furthest shore
If only to rest my lips upon your cheek
And speak to all who would listen
Of your perfection.

I remember well that morning
We met while I sat scorning
This galaxy, its cruel nature
And fate, a wild creature
That hunted my soul like a wounded beast.
Yet I looked up - and there, for all to see
A feast of beauty, raw and pure
Of perfection.
It was then I fell
Into your embrace
My heart it raced
And there, in the door of this abode
Upon the shores of this distant world
My heart spoke your name
For the first time.

My heart, it could speak
My heart, it did seek
And now it has found
It's single lost key
You, my love, complete me.
I love you.

love to me is a cactus flower
a beauty in whispering sands
a sunset kaleidoscope

I see the broken parts of you
sharp as thorns
but they are still parts of you
as I want to be a part of you

but that flower rests on thorned bed
as I return to whispering sands
alone

To my eternal love
Springs longing and regret
An angel sent from above
