The Very Essense of Your Name

I must have you and all that I want,
Sweet nectar of desire from the spirit of love,
What length for you shall I fight,
For this absolute joy in my life?
You sharpen my sword and offer pure light.

The piercing eyes of the jealous few,
Who wish end of love with absolute rage,
Will never taste your sweetest kiss,
Nor the decadent smile of pure bliss,
You heighten all senses cynics miss.

I can feel my growth inside you,
In spite of all and who block our way,
My heart for you is taken,
From tyranny a force will awaken,
Freedom ... so dearly we shall not forsaken -
The very essence of your name.
