The Garden of Adonis

And I talk to her heart of delight, and she shudders to think elsewhere The purchase of her soul, enlightened over here She has a glass face, so smooth like porcelain Created by a master-smith, not an extrinsic villain Open minded heart, that of delight my friend Loving like no other, that which depends Centered onto my own life force, she enters my life Crafted with a perfected twinge, to complete me my wife A single inkling of power, she shares it within me She works within the hour, sublime it can be Fascinating she brings, a lovely harpsichord Beauty deep within, the chorus and the chord Superimposed grandiosity, livened inside of me She sleeps onto my shoulder, her being is what I see Softly and gently she moves, covering my tenderness She creates motion, and has loveliness Come to me my sweetheart, live a little with me You can surface each emotion, surely you can be Directly honored by your immensity I direct my heart towards divinity Lovingly we control our destiny, over the tops of our delight She showers us both with love, and the hope of life is in sight And to this our love is shown Like the greatest ever star known
