The Woman that I Need

With you, I can overcome every darkness,
You’re my connection to the sun,
The moonlight that guides me through my night’s sojourn,
The hand that arranges my day.

This is not a parade of words,
This is not a mere quantum of expressions,
It’s a flight of my affection,
It’s a river of my love.

Your mellifluous voice echoes in my room,
It buoys me across the sea,
It cocoons me from the day’s assailants,
It disperses the gloom that pervades my chamber.

Come and let’s walk through the seasons of life together,
Come to the room I have made for you,
In my heart dwells a portrait of you,
You’re all I need.
