Here in the soft blue light of a silvery orb
Your eyes sparkle as they gaze into mine.
This moment is an eternity unto itself.
But eternity with you would seem as a heartbeat.

The breeze stirs your golden locks
framing your face as passing clouds frame the moon.
You are the light of my life.
When I see you look at me this way
the light of your spirit fills me, sustains me,
gives me reason to live.

All that I am is yours,
and all that I ever want to be... is yours.

Nothing can take you away from me now,
for we are one flesh, one spirit.
I am your husband and you are my wife.
Entwined in the wonder of unity
Even when we are apart, I carry you within me.

I brush a fingertip across angelic lips
and they part expectantly.
The softest kiss as our breath is mingled
and a nightingale sings your name.

Lunalaurainai, My Moonflower, my One True Love.
Your perfume fills my head and I am drunk with passion.
I am at once weak and invincible in your presence.
Your body is a temple and I am your congregation.

Your beauty is beyond compare, without as well as within
And I thank God that I am so blessed as to look upon you.

But were I blind, the sound of your voice calling my name
would fill my heart with beauty still.

And were I deaf, a kiss from your lips would assure me
that all is right in the world.

For as long as we both shall live,
nothing can take your joy from my soul.
