I am lost in the darkness of your eyes.
Midnight swims in their depths.
Sunlight is swallowed and extinguished.
But the Moon is at home within you,
and starlight has never been more beautiful.
Your presence speaks in an ancient tongue.
Your heart beats the original rhythm.
You exist eternally,
the oldest mountains call you friend.
the deepest oceans,
tide at your will.
Yet you have chosen to love,
to share yourself with me.
Link your soul with my own.
And I am left wondering,
what it is you see in me.
What I have to offer you,
that can begin to compare
with your magnificence.
