THE CLOSET MYSTIC

Listen here now and listen intently —

I swear to you my love is forever.

And I will never love more intensely,

There exist no cutters that can sever.

Your luminous love renders me breathless,

There is no greater treasure I cherish.

My love is eternal and is deathless,

You must know that it will never perish.

Care not if away I’m being carried,

And forgive me if I speak far too bold.

But I would love for us to get married,

And for our unified hearts to grow old.

Your presence strengthens me yet makes me weak,

And I’ve never known anything more real.

And no matter how many words I speak,

I’m powerless to convey what I feel.

Your love’s imperative for survival,

A patient plugged to a ventilator.

Your love is the key to my revival,

And you are my heart’s defibrillator.

I kneel before you my queen and altar,

Elixir of life and my holy grail.

I vow now my love will never falter,

It’s invincible and will never fail.

Now my heart rests in the palm of your hand,

You’re at liberty to do as you wish.

You surround and have plucked me from the land,

You’re the ocean and I swim as the fish.

Taken by your currents at your mercy,

Your waters consist of my living womb.

Still dependent and in need of nursing,

Your love keeps me from a premature tomb.
