Our Earthly Appetites

In our earthly appetites our love is now one
To hear your heartbeat next to mine always
Oh yes—a sweet beautiful rose of paradise 
You came to me by the river my bonnie lass
While branches of birds whistled tunes of love
Drifting on a summer breeze warmly whispering
Moaning as gentle thoughts murmur your name
Carried on a majestic breath of warm luscious air 
With echoing babbles from a most precious maiden
Memories with one dream holding a forget-me-not 
Unveiling so fair your impression left on my heart 
Dancing on every pulse beat sweetly sings a siren
I watch the sun as it fades into the deep blue sea 
We both sail upon one warm beauty breeze of sighs 
While behind these eyes the truth forever is dawning 
One flower nods in a rainbow array far beyond compare 
While you who drink from love’s very chalice so true
A magical and enchanting blessing holding no disguise 
You’re the breath of my life and existence my love
