Be His Beacon

Were my veins strong like the roots of trees Were my heart restless like the working bees Had I nerves cool like the morning breeze O my beloved I’d kneel on both knees And pray for the fleeting time to freeze So we can live forever and go beyond the seas Beyond every place, beyond people’s reach Come, my love, do come I beseech Come and let us every norm breach Love I learn, love I cannot teach But do be certain, for love I will preach And in your memory I engrave this speech Speak not to me of people’s gaze Nor about the weak body that decays All I know is that I’m counting the days On which I don’t see you, my heart is ablaze With passion and passion through me in a maze Where stands my heart confused, knowing not his ways Out of the maze, be his beacon with your amorous arrays
