Disappear In New Books

Alone in library of singing books, 
I wait for the person I love the most 
to find their way to haven of my heart 
so we can share the stories of our lives 
with giggling whispers in soft candlelight, 
then kiss with love till stars fall from the sky. 

Safe in warm haven of consensual love 
that bonds our bodies with our private rite, 
we design the simple plan of our lives, 
yet unaware that fortune mocks our faith, 
for we feel timeless light of ancient stars 
glow strong with courageous strength of our youth. 

We stay together on the road of life 
by holding hands as we explore the woods 
and calling to each other when we part 
so we can find our lover in the dark, 
then snuggle as we share sweet food we find 
from rich bounty of the indifferent Earth. 

Knowing our time on spinning Earth is short, 
we generate children from our compassion 
and teach them mysteries of our universe 
so they continue on after we die, 
but till then we sit on the river shore 
and sing till we disappear in new books.
