We radiate a kingdom off each other
of sun that smiles rainbows to the sea,
with rays that lay warm alleys to the moon
a blue and yellow ever winding odyssey…

We are both fate and longing to each other,
a scales that weighs long hours in the skies,
soon-coming moments that shimmer rather
than older seconds that just wear a new guise

The ballads and the chants are all our flight,
each other’s hymn in hazy verse and rhyme,
my piece of heaven and my dream at night
I share them with you, breathing their chime

A castle made of shadows clad in sighs,
whispers of thought and soft becoming, where we live,
with gates like mirrors shining northern skies,
a path and shelter to a stranger, that we give

The rooms hide burning miracles inside,
like gems so rich in colorful deep shades,
sparkling so fine like small unfastened windows
touched softly by forgotten rays

Gardens and meadows lure us far away,
petal and pollen are we, so homely, to each other
in purely balsamic hues and royal sway
and every blade of grass feels like a brother 

We are each other’s kingly chance and cheer
sifting with care dear mornings, tender nights,
warping time’s spine sublime, without fear,
feasting on pure winter and spring whites…

On the horizon our realm touches smoothly
a warm infinity, so yours and so mine,
as skylines nobly echo beyond doubt
a land kept close and holy like a shrine
