As the hands of love

have written in permanence

with the ink of adoration,

our hearts shall never part ways,

cupid rest thoroughly

but the novel of destiny

continues to write;

I stare into your eyes

with a confident flawlessness

and my heart beats like joy

because it laughs with perfection

Your smile cuddles my trust,

with a pluckiness commendable,

now I smile

joyously as I sleep on a fire,

because you give me

a power I've never known

In your presence,

I exhale ice,

my heart breathes fire

and my soul

bears witness to

the chastity of your amore,

as I am also

in love with you.
