Revel with me tonight
While our fancies take flight
Lie next to me my dear
Whisper softly words so clear
A testament of your devotion
Resonates like love’s potion
Your breathing calms my soul
Exquisite beauty to extol
I wonder why I’m here
Next to someone so sincere
Pinch me to tell me it’s a dream
That I lie next to you so serene
Make love to me please I beg
No more words left unsaid
Touch me tenderly and slow
Till my body begins to glow
I rise to meet your skin
Revel tonight and take me in
Exhausted we lie next to one another
Dream of lovemaking takes us under
Twilight’s spell of unconsciousness
Forgetting the hours of loneliness
Your scent remains forever in my thoughts
My heart and soul you’ve caught
Taste my skin and awaken this mortal
Fly me through Heaven’s portal
Where love lasts forever and never ends
Where your beauty erases all my sins
Surround me with your bountiful passion
Transform this tired being with your compassion
I’m safe now lying next to you
Nestled in clouds with orange and red hues
This mortal man you’ve lifted high
Excised the demons without a cry
You remain always in my arms
Forever enraptured by angelic charm
