Let my heart be on fire,
I am not going to be an absconder,
Let’s see how long it can retain,
The woe, the death-like pain.
If my love for you is pristine,
Then nothing not even Hercules can make it lean,
Only your loving breath will be enough,
To make my heart in delightful ecstasy laugh.
To Rumi “the beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty”,
Don’t you ever forget this 'my cutie'.
Heart everyone has one,
But yours one is compared to none,
Its beauty touches all,
Anyone can hardly avoid its call.
Why doesn’t everyone own such a heart?
Sounds silly since the nature’s law worships part,
I’m proud to have fallen in love,
With you my literal dove.
You are so kindhearted, so generous,
Affecting all those who die to steal some moments of yours,
You are Jewel of Lord Jim, supporting me forever,
Besides I can discover a Portia in you being my well-wisher.
You are what Bob Marley said, my “one love, one heart, one destiny”,
Having faith in Tennyson, so have I decided wisely,
To “have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”,
No matter whether hell simply stares at me or chooses to fall.
May your heart remain as it is evermore,
Let it not be impure,
May the sea and the sky dwell in peace in your heart’s heart,
Possibly Shakespeare would use your name forgetting Rosalind’s part!
You always smile although I'm mad
You always try to make me glad
In all ways, you are never bad
If I'll lose you, I'll be so sad
I never asked a favor from you before
But now that I am loving you more and more
There is only one thing that I pray
I beg God that you would stay this way
You make jokes for me every hour
You keep all the things that you vowed
I never had seen you furious
Although they said you're notorious
I won't ever want you to change
I love who you are this way
So I'm begging you to stay
Please remain like this each day
The shadows hold a secret
They conceal my heart
They protect me from the pain of love
And are my only friends
The shadows hold no regret
And they will never start
They will fit around me like a glove
Until the torment ends
Slowly closing around me
Then they suddenly stop
An opening appears
A person walks toward me
I cannot see their face
The shadows allow them to pass through
While still concealing their identity
They come closer
And put their arms around me
I allow them to comfort me
While the shadows conceal us both
From life, pain, and the world
Tightening around us
Pushing us closer and closer
The closer we get to each other
The more torment that leaves us both
Until we are free of all pain
Now the shadows hold our hearts
And now they beat as one
Together now we sit,
Our lives have just begun
Shadows bring us comfort
As well as forbidden love
The shadows set us free
On the wings of a snow white dove
Together we are safe
Together we are one
Together in the shadows
Our hearts beating as one
Today, tomorrow, and forever
Shall we remain here
Held within the shadows light
Forever protected from it all
All our fears all possible pain
And pushed toward our desires
Love, happiness, health., prosperity
And most of all toward towards one another
Two souls are we
With but one heart
This is the way it was meant
Two bodies, two minds
With two hearts
Forever beating as one
~Chrystal and Shannon
