Beloved

My angel
My heart yearns for your love
As my body for your touch
Your beauty mesmerizes me
And your presence enthralls my very being

I would do anything for your love.
Travel to the ends of the earth,
Give up everything I own,
Anything just to feel your touch

Please do not dismiss me as infatuated
Or as simply besotted,
For my love is true.
Its depth farther than the ocean
And its breadth greater than the sky

Darling, please forsake not my love
Don’t condemn me to the perpetual sorrow
And the agonizing loneliness that will beset me
If you refuse my passions

A life without your love
Is a flower with no sunlight,
A star with no sky,
A bird with no wings

Beloved, death is far less chastisement
Than living with the knowledge
That you do not love me as I love you

Reject me not, dearest
Adore me as I adore you
Permit my mind to rest
And my soul to be tranquil
