LOVING HEARTS

Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle

All past tender eyes made our hearts rattle
Your eyes made it all seem, all such prattle

Our mettle bruised by old fable smiles
Longing love in streets of rickety miles

Let’s leap each to the other, with joy
Our loving hearts mending from toy

This night has long dwelled in our hearts
Since the days our minds played in parts

Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, hip to hip
Breasts to chest, toe to toe, lip to lip

We have succumb to this way, headlong
Let’s not, this parting darkness prolong

Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle

What we, in this night shall share is ample
In days to come our hearts will not trample

Our mettle bruised by old fable smiles
Longing love in streets of rickety miles

In our loving hearts, this light is plunger
Binding our souls to be mates in all hunger

Knowing you in this specking brightness
Confers thee tiara in our loving heartiness

Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, hip to hip
Breasts to chest, toe to toe, lip to lip

To our slim shadows this affair is pressing
Even if this passionate life is in passing

Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle
