My Own Heaven On Earth

My Own Heaven On Earth
By Cody Brandon Turner


O do touch my face
With that soft and gentle touch
I feel the love I give
Never seems to be enough
The Love you deserve
Only god can provide
For my love for you is strong
Like a Sailors knot that is tied
Sunflower eyes and desiring lips
Your love is deep within me
In my heart is where it sits
You are heaven on my earth
Love in my pocket
If something should try to take this
Then I shall fight and stop it
Fight with my heart
And love with my soul
Right down to the very second
Till I’m useless and old
Your love is something I lone for
It’s something I must possess
This feeling I’ll hold in my hand
Then strongly form a firm fist
In my hand I will hold it
And hold it over my heart
This feeling will never leave me
Even when heaven forces us apart
