Let not the Sun go down upon my relentless heart.
Let the soft winds carry you into my warm bosom.
Let your bodily perfumes guide their aromas to my senses.
Let the Sun soften my stubborn heart in ceaseless searches.
I will rush to your side as waves rush to sandy beaches.
Will my aching feet heal after every road is trodden—
Only to behold your glistening eyes as Swans in a pond?
Let your tongue kiss me like bears devour dainty blue berries.
My radar seeks to rendezvous with you in pleasant meadows.
The melody of your voice beckons to solace my anxious mind.
I cannot feel your voluptuous lips nor your silky-smooth hair.
I wait with midnight candles to embrace your radiant face.
My soul anticipates daylight, waiting patiently till, I find you.
When suddenly you walk into my life with surprising delight,
And whisper softly to you saying, I love you, my beloved,
As gentle rains rush into rivers flowing into the sea,
So, your love overflows the depths of my soul.
Then I can say, I have found one whom my soul loveth.
