Invitation

Falling in love is a wonderful thing, any fool came plainly see.
Falling, floating, feeling... frightening, but that's the way it must be!
Frequently thinking most frivolous things, finding the mind all consumed.
Forgetting your friends for the sake of your love, is this too much to presume?

Laughing in spike of your self, you soon learn, comes easily to your heart.
Letting the glow and the warmth of the love literally tear you apart.
Lasting impressions, longings of lust, linger throughout the whole day.
Lashed to the heart with unbreakable cords of silver and gold, so they say.

Imagining things that ought not to be, impossible choices to make.
Is this the right thing? The heart says it is, and logic can hardly dictate.
If for a moment your logic should rule, imprisoning you, don't you see?
In such a moment, independent of thought, the spirit cries out to be free!

Reaching conclusions that normally fall by the side as foolish, risqué
Reason can never keep up with true love, reason your love will soon slay.
Romance will rule and ransom and risk, all for emotional bliss.
Rejoice, O my soul! Rejoice in the love, it doesn't get better then this!

Teasing, and flirting, and testing the strength of your love is common and grand.
Tempting the heart with the passion within, or the soft, gentle touch of the hand.
Try as you might, you can never escape this side of love's sweet embrace.
Though pain may follow, the joy you pursue, both sides of the coin you must face.

What can you do? It's part of the plan, you share both the pleasure and pain.
Whoever's loved will tell you it's true, but the whole world you can gain.
When love consumes you, when it fulfills, all of your dreams and your hopes.
Wonderful is the joy of the heart, even in pain you will cope.

If you should doubt this, you never have loved, it's easy to see this is true!
Impossible as it may seem to the mind, this fact will linger with you.
In happiness, the pain will abate, but never will it depart.
Inseparable, immovable, real, it's joined to the love from the start.

Take of my love, taste it and see, it's from my heart all the way.
Tempting and teasing, trying at times, I will enjoy as you play.
Totally captive, totally yours, tested and tried and found true.
This love I have will conquer all foes, I've given my heart just to you!

Hope will rejoice, hope will endure, hope will carry along,
Healing the pain, helping the love, our hearts will break forth in song.
Having you here in my life, I can't say, how much this all means to me,
Heaven and hell, two sides of the coin, I willingly grasp both, don't you see?

Make me the king of your heart, I will give all that I have for your love,
Move me along as you will, I will live, thanking my God up above.
Measure your love without care, you will see, I'll return it many times over,
My heart is yours to do as you will, I am your love and your lover.

Every moment, every day, like a well nurtured seed my love grows
Even at times when you seem far away, my love to you I will show
Each passing moment emotions erupt, filling my heart with desire,
Eternally, I will love you completely, you are the flame to my fire.
