Our hearts beat as one [terzanelle]

by Elynnka   Dec 20, 2006


Sweet nectar dripping slowly on thy lips,
Sparkles shining in thine eyes so sweetly
Shimmering at the touch of finger tips.

Petals shelter thine heart as red love drips -
Peacefulness set in thy mind and body,
Sparkles shining in thine eyes so sweetly.

Violins play a saintly melody
Angels and seraphs sing their graceful songs,
Peacefulness set in thy mind and body.

Thy warming chest is where my heart belongs
For my beat is yours and thy beat is mine
Angels and seraphs sing their graceful songs.

Our breathing and senses intertwine
Glistening bliss in our dark blue eyes,
For my beat is yours and thy beat is mine.

Embracing each other sheltered from lies -
Sweet nectar dripping slowly on thy lips
Glistening bliss in our dark blue eyes,
Shimmering at the touch of finger tips.
