SWEET LULLABY

Beauty, as it is said, lies in the eyes of the beholder,

but the thought of many hearts be the same if they saw you.

For diamonds and gold may dazzle one’s soul,

but you my princess is the fairest of all known.

The angels above wonder though,

why one of them choose to dwell on earth below.

I have set my gaze upon many maidens,

but you alone my angel, leaves me breathless.

Your affection soars around me like a magic zephyr,

as I drift alone in the ocean of love.

The sirens sing of your beauty,

and the wind whispers your name.

The wheel of fate has completed its course,

for destiny has merged the perfect pair.

Your presence has turned my fantasies to reality,

and the fortress of my heart overflows with your love.

I look at the sky at night, and the stars smile at me,

for I have with me one of their kind.

My darkest of path have been revealed,

by the flames of passion that glows in your eyes.

You sneaked into my dreams and stolen my mind,

now my thoughts are thoughts of you alone.

Nothing thrills me more than making you mine,

for that my soul craves with all its might.

Being together will be pure bliss,

if our emotions comes as one.

You have discarded the torments and sorrows of old,

and my heart dwells in the bosoms of your paradise.

The depth of my soul thou has searched deep,

the shape of my heart, your hands to keep.
