Opiate

Oh love, thou art beautiful
With your eyes like precious stones
They seem to sparkle just for me
So pleasant in their earthy tones

Oh love, you take my breath away
I say this with great esteem
I’ve held my breath since we first met, my love
Fearing it a dream

You are breathtaking, I'm in awe
What a treasure I have found
Oh, the wealth of love I now possess
Oh, the joy that does abound!

We'll see it through, my love
Nothing dare stop us now
Fate will do our bidding
And before us love shall bow

Oh love, thou art temptation
Perfected in my eyes
Without effort you unravel me
When you choose to tantalize

The playful innocents of your hands
The intimacy of your kiss
I love the way they wander ‘bout
As they dance with their young mistress

And you, the embodiment of love
The opiate of my desire
Emblazoned the embers of my heart
And set my soul on fire

Passion flows throughout my veins
Love overwhelms the senses
Whenever you draw near to me
The act of love commences

Forthwith I do yet tremble
Beneath your touch of sweet elation
I am humbled by your love for me
the culmination of exaltation

It is a timeless love
One that many wish to seize
It can make the strongest men to weep
And fall upon their knees

It can give a weak man courage
To slay a dragon for his maid
With nothing but his honor
His shield, and sharpened blade

What an awe this love must be
To wield such sovereign power
Time itself does halt for it
And before it brave men cower

And it is ours my love, my joy
This love is ours to wield
Though only we may know it
For in our hearts it is concealed
