DEPTH OF OUR LOVE

If I had woken up on the wrong side of my bed,

I would have made up my mind to stay away from you.

But alas! I am here, looking calm and good,

Just to make an impression on you.

Let this day live on in our hearts,

And it’s meaning stay in our minds.

Love was meant to be shown to others,

It was meant to be shared by lovers.

You are my lover,

And I am your slave in loving.

You hold me spell-bound in your love,

And your love web sticks so tight to my heart.

I have claimed, once upon a time, to be a master in love.

And I have proven my claim with others that none can compete.

But with you is an entirely different episode,

And with you, it seems to be a twist in a straight season.

From the moment I saw you, I fell headlong, in love with you.

Though it has taken me an unusually long time to voice it out,

I feel that today presents itself as a now or never date,

To express my love to you.

From Everest to Atlas,

From Himalayas to Kilimanjaro,

From the Atlantic to the Pacific,

From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean’s,

I have searched and looked,

Researched and reviewed,

If I could find a matching and equal love,

Like that which me and you share together.

Take me and accept my true love,

Let us fly together, to the haven of our love’s honeymoon.

Let people’s mouth wag and their eyes flicker.

Let men grow long tails like the African monkey,

And women have giant beards like the old Kalahari Lions.

Let us make our abode in the deep blue skies,

And enjoy the depth of our love.
