When you came and held

my hands, I found myself

in a place,

where shadows depart,

and happiness dances like the spring,

and a wilderness that cuddled

my soft, till tomorrow turned

whiter than snow

There is a fire burning in my heart,

but my heart does it not consume,

there is a fire burning in my heart,

but in a strange wisdom I

do let it burn to rekindle a

smile like a resurrected amber,

that turns all my sorrows to ash

I am in a land of oblivion,

my mind does not struggle with

a calculating resilience,

all reality seems meaningless,

all except the rose

of found with you

I am in a land of oblivion

My tears freeze,

and my eyes see daybreak

upon my days,

before me I have something

greater than greatness

Ever since you became my armour,

my rode on the love express,

a train that forbore rails,

and sailed on the oceans of fondness.
