Sweet agony of our conceptual love 
wakes me at midnight from beautiful dream 
where we walk together in crowded halls 
to analyze the strangeness of starlight 
because when I gaze in your moon-black eyes 
I feel infinity glow in my brain. 

Reluctant pleasure of this timeless day 
fills me with terror of the empty sky 
which gleams cobalt in mirror of the lake 
revealing cosmic emptiness of being 
as we hold hands on fragile wooden boat 
which I row forward toward the hopeful day. 

If darkness lures us through door in the trees 
we decide to follow our eager hearts 
and go where Death controls our state of mind 
till our lost names appear in red moonlight 
as we keep moving with the river flow 
though gravity drags us down to the truth. 

The cogent spindle twists our points of view 
so our two bodies of ambitious flesh 
merge shadows into one immortal soul 
stretched vast as mountains laughing at the joke 
that only ocean waves will understand 
though I will try to translate them to seeds. 

The end of the road that is far ahead 
will lead us back to where our souls were born 
so we must worry to restore the wind 
that swirls around the most beautiful tree 
where we left our childhood in the twilight 
wide enough to become the spinning world. 

For even when I wander in the gloom, 
too far beyond the walls of paradise 
to know the road that would restore our faith, 
she smiles with simple charming innocence 
that glows as light to guide our lonely way 
to the house where the road continues on. 

Since we keep meeting on our daily treks 
to gather fruits and nuts from humming trees 
we decide to continue side by side, 
always together on the road we blaze 
so we can protect each other from harm 
and hold each other safe in the cold night. 

The way she beams with smiles of eager eyes 
while skipping high among the apple trees 
inspires my heart to sing about true love 
so, when she crouches down to touch the herb 
that heals all wounds, I gaze with selfless love 
at timeless beauty of her mortal soul.
