And two hearts beat as one
To the rhythm of a tune they call their own.

As...

So many wonders and thoughts swirling through your bed
No responsibilities

His Rembrandtesque canvass hat shading eyes,

Myths spun with heroes, on quests all their own.

With villains I tangled, with champions I soared,
