The Garden of Adonis
And I talk to her heart of delight, and she shudders to think elsewhere
The purchase of her soul, enlightened over here
She has a glass face, so smooth like porcelain
Created by a master-smith, not an extrinsic villain
Open minded heart, that of delight my friend
Loving like no other, that which depends
Centered onto my own life force, she enters my life
Crafted with a perfected twinge, to complete me my wife
A single inkling of power, she shares it within me
She works within the hour, sublime it can be
Fascinating she brings, a lovely harpsichord
Beauty deep within, the chorus and the chord
Superimposed grandiosity, livened inside of me
She sleeps onto my shoulder, her being is what I see
Softly and gently she moves, covering my tenderness
She creates motion, and has loveliness
Come to me my sweetheart, live a little with me
You can surface each emotion, surely you can be
Directly honored by your immensity
I direct my heart towards divinity
Lovingly we control our destiny, over the tops of our delight
She showers us both with love, and the hope of life is in sight
And to this our love is shown
Like the greatest ever star known
