Etched in Stone
If you thrust a dagger into my heart
Lay me on a bed of thorns
Give me a chalice of hemlock
Thrash me with a flail
Haul me over the smoldering coals
Hang me over a precipice by
the skin of my teeth,
Shackle me, impale me, crucify me…
But I will only smile,
Why?
Because I am in Love!
It was so written on the
sheaves of the stars
on the wings of the wind
on the waves of the seas
on the cool mist of the dawn
on every breath and every smile
on flowers, leaves and grains of sand,
like etched into the stone…
I Love You.
