Platinum Diamonds on Black Velvet Sky
for Franziska
My chosen one we have begun at last
As we have begun enjoying as one
Living love here between future and past
Two sudden starbursts to flash through the now
Platinum diamonds on black velvet sky
As farflung as forever might allow
I am free when I am embraced by you
To ride time and space like waves of the sea
With space for time as much to be as do
I know we have always been together
Golden goddess eastern promise of sun
Just as we are neither when nor whether
My chosen one we have begun somehow
And what has begun (may it never end)
Insists I be with you no matter what
As chosen one as lover as best friend
The other half of me which time forgot
Now rediscovered to be timelessly
Aswirl in the whirlpool of destiny
