Song of Songs

Her voice is a sound sweet and soothing.
Her eyes are deep with mystery.
Her cheeks soft and radiant...
a vision of sheer ecstasy.

She's as lovely as a garden fountain...
a fresh spring flower enchanting.
She's a shimmering moon beam glowing...
gentle and inviting.

I must stay with her
until the dawn breathes its early light.
I must be with her
until slowly away slips the night.

Her smile so generous and full,
like the warmth of the sun afar.
She's a ravishing night sky,
amidst a galaxy of stars.

I must stay with her
until the dawn breathes its early light.
I must be with her
until slowly away slips the night.
