The Fountain of Your Heart

To linger in the fountain of your heart
         Immersed in mist of longing for your love
A fragile yet commanding work of art
     You grant the wish that I could but dream of

To live forever in our graceful dance
           Communion of our souls, a spindrift rush
I’m drenched with every image of romance
        Just as we taste the glow of morning blush

A fantasy of passion are our days
                   Our nights as torrid as immortal sun
My mind can barely comprehend the ways
               Our lives will, now and ever, be as one

So lest I should release this raptured sweep
        Oh wake me not now from my wistful sleep
