Paradise In Your Fortress

I toured the avenues of your spirit, And I was cautious not to fall in your pit, But you caught my soul with your kiss Like a free bird trapped in your abyss. I should have been lonely and helpless, But within the depth of your fortress, In the heart of your looming silence, I found the real meaning of my existence. I wish to be reborn like a freshly hatched spawn, Fervently trailing towards the dawn, For deep within the fortress of your eyes I found my eternal paradise- There where the waves kiss the shoreline freely And the shoreline does not drive them away, For the waters are in complete serenity Like the winds that bring a solemn melody; There where your tender soul longingly awaits To give my heart a sweet embrace, Where the touch of your thrilling sweet kiss Gives me perpetual bliss; There where the grace of your sweet caress Pours down like rains of glorious consecration, Where your heart riddled with benevolence Builds a bridge towards salvation.
