Love Poem: Paradise In Your Fortress

Paradise In Your Fortress

I toured the avenues of your spirit,
And I was cautious not to fall in your pit,
But you caught my soul with your kiss 
Like a free bird trapped in your abyss.

I should have been lonely and helpless,
But within the depth of your fortress,
In the heart of your looming silence,
I found the real meaning of my existence.  

I wish to be reborn like a freshly hatched spawn,
Fervently trailing towards the dawn,
For deep within the fortress of your eyes 
I found my eternal paradise-

There where the waves kiss the shoreline freely
And the shoreline does not drive them away,
For the waters are in complete serenity 
Like the winds that bring a solemn melody;

There where your tender soul longingly awaits 
To give my heart a sweet embrace,
Where the touch of your thrilling sweet kiss 
Gives me perpetual bliss;

There where the grace of your sweet caress 
Pours down like rains of glorious consecration,
Where your heart riddled with benevolence 
Builds a bridge towards salvation.
