| I love you with my every Breath |
| |
I love you with my every breath,
I make you songs like thunder birds,
Give you my life—you give me death
And stab me with your dreadful words.
|
| |
You laid my head against your heart
Last night, my lips upon your breast
And now you say that we must part
For fear your heart should be oppressed:
|
| |
You cannot go against the world
For my sake only—thus your phrase,
But I—God’s beauty is unfurled
In your gold hair, and in your gaze
|
| |
The wisdom of God’s bride—each soul
That shares his love, and yours and mine,
Two lovers share your aureole
And one is mortal, one divine:
|
| |
One came on earth that you might know
His love for you—that you deny,
Now you give me this equal blow:
One died for you, and one will die.
