    How do I?

    Let the Euphrates tell the Cherubim,

    I’ve seen a glimpse of Eden.

    Sound the trumpet to the heathen,

    gateway to heaven is in her eyes.

    The innocence of a lamb,

    The beauty of blue skies,

    The sexy of fractals,

    her eyes, the trio form.

     

     

     Don't look further for my daisy,

    better than daisy is planted in her eyes

    How can I trade this for a million damsels!

    Her touch, I can’t trade for purest rubies

     

    Sweetie, my friends call me crazy.

    How do I explain….explain  your smile,

     that melts my mountain of anger

    or the current your touch sends down my spine,

    or the sweetness of your lips against mine

    that it’s better than honey

    How do I explain,

    Explain your bite?

    deep into my bare skin

    that it’s not painful

    that it’s a bite I crave

    crave for each night?

     

    Hey pilgrim!

    tell my folks

    I’ve seen a beauty of sunset,

    I have followed her

    to the world we make

    the world of our own

    I’ll bring her home someday

    to live with us till the end of time

    What a beautiful expression of your love. I am glad I found this when I did, I have found love again, the first time in a long time, and it is more powerful and meaningful that it has ever been and reading this gave me butterflies thinking of my love, I can feel how true your words of love are. 10 from me my friend. Peace and Love, Spence

    Thanks Spence. I wish you the best.
