Only You

Of all the mortals I have met

On whom my searching eyes have set

You are the only one, my friend

Who can make me truly laugh again.

Only you, my love, can turn my blues

Into a sweet ecstatic cruise

And put my weary heart to rest

In times of deep distress.

Only you, my love, can create thoughts

That sublimate my heart

You stir me up to challenge life

And conquer mortal strife.

Only you, my love, can cast this spell

In which my heart now dwells

A cool, hypnotic, dulcet charm

That enfolds me in its palms.

Only you, my love, can shine so bright

To obliterate my nights

And let me know perpetual day

Though the sky be sometimes grey.
