A Message From a Lover

1

How I really wish that I
Could take you up to the heavens high
Not by the gloomy path of death
But by the warmth of my own breath

I'll carry you to the place of bliss
Sweet pleasure you cannot miss
That day to come, a kiss I swear,
and music shall, thus, fill the air

2

I pity those whose hearts have fled
For the joy of another's bed
Worse than war or any bloodshed
It is what brings them to the dead

To you my love, I hold my trust
Though weak are we in the call of lust
For you and I are lovers true
I'll say it again, "I love you."

3

The coldest heart is my worst fear
I pray for warmth, 'tis your voice I hear
I lament upon the inevitable test
If I offer my love, I'll give you my best

I befriended sorrow through-out the years
What'll make tomorrow if you bring me to tears?
To hold back, do not, I want you to stay
Remain in my heart 'til my very last day.

4

My love, oh, my love,
though you may be very far
My love for you will
remain like a scar

Wounded I am,
missing you from a distance
But strongly I stand,
to put temptation in resistance

No beauty can surpass my loyalty
I love you without any uncertainty
Though I live in a field of hundred flowers,
I only choose one, in which my heart desires

5

To gaze at the flawless waves of the sea
To stare at the great skies' perpetual beauty
Like a small seed planted firmly
on the ground,
The two of us shall grow gracefully
in bound

To seek our father's knowledge of the dirt
Great is the Lord's wisdom of the earth
His love for us is truly divine
I give glory to our God who made you mine!
