Twine and One

...twine and one...

Whilst the sky is jet darkly 
the stars are brilliantly diamonds sparkling 
capturing the hearts of the night's lovers 
sitting by the water with lips lock 
uncaring to the naked eyes of the night 
Who, what, and wherever - doesn't matter to 
them at this hour of amorous 
They are two lovers to be loved tonight
Alive with a fever 
Hungry for one another
Tonight is theirs alone
... to twine and one...
Paralyzing to the world 
from the heat of passion spreading rapidly
thru thin veins
Yearning 
Needing              
...to twine and one...
Two souls are now become one 
Undisturbed to the crashing of the waves 
that's cheering them on 
Unaware of the soft breeze caressing 
their naked skins tenderly
They are two lovers making sweet 
passionate love tonight
Unshy to the naked eyes of the night 
Who, what, and wherever - doesn't matter to 
them at this enchanting night
They are content 
They are complete
... twine and one...
Drifting off to sleep and dream
Whilst the sky still darkly 
Under the diamond sparkling stars 
The now calm water swaying gently
The now still breeze asleep soundless 
Everything is at peace 
Their world is whole for now... Smile!
