The Love With Which I Love Your Love

You’re that flame that tempts me to burn,

The lesson life teaches but my heart refuses to learn,

You’re that shadow at every turn,

The rose I expect to bud from a fern.

You’re that wind that sails my sails,

Muffles my cries and turns to laughter my wails,

You’re that system the artist in me wants to fight,

The politician in me wants to perpetuate,

My birthmark’s birthright

You love the love, with which I love your love,

You hate the hate with which I hate hate,

You put no one above, above you there’s no one,

The dove in my eagle, the eagle in your dove,

Like a giant I stand tall even when I prostrate,

What’s done is done, a done deal; signed, sealed, delivered to the sun

My sun, your moonlight,

Your moonlight sheds light on my iris so I can see your milky way,

Your way leads me in the night,

My night leads you to the sunny day,

The rains fall like silky water drop kisses from Venus,

The thunders roar like the yawn of Mars,

Our love paints the midnight sky like Pegasus,

It’s the Florence Nightingale of our universe, earth’s nurse

You love the love, with which I love your love,

You hate the hate, with which I hate hate,

You put no one above, above you there’s no one,

The dove in my eagle, me the eagle in your dove,

Like a giant I stand tall even when I prostrate,

What’s done is done, a done deal, signed sealed delivered to the sun

Sun, stars, sky,

Fight, flight, fly,

A roller-coaster leading to the sea,

Then back again on land dry,

Deserts, darkness, dementia,

Halos, hate, hamartia,

I feel a thousand shades of emotions when with thee,

Swinging, nay soaring on chandeliers like Sia
