Eternal Waltz of Hearts: A Love Story Written in the Stars , Part I



Forever sounds like a dream with you
Our two beating hearts dancing under a full moon
The tremulous stars watching from their celestial pews
As we waltz to love's crooning tune
Feeling the pull of each other's gravity, locked in orbit
Knowing in this moment we could never be torn apart
Our souls entwined, together we absorb it
The splendor of this night engraved upon our heart
Two kindred flames, burning bright as one
Lost in this dream that feels so real
Wanting these precious moments to go on and on
As the moonlight makes our joy reveal
Our rhythmic heartbeats like a symphony
Playing the music of our destiny

Adrift on tides of wonderment so true
Cascading through the hours as we hold each other close
The ephemeral now transformed into me and you
A sacred bond that time cannot erode
Your hand in mine, we traverse landscapes of the mind
Voyaging to realms where only love resides
Leaving behind the woes of humankind
On wings of passion, to the stars we glide
The darkness retreats before our light
As we revel in love's sweet delight
All the world fades away this night
Nothing else matters, nothing else is right
Except this dream, just me and you
And the love we know is oh so true
 
Like moths enraptured by a flame
We're drawn together again and again
This yearning in our hearts we cannot tame
As we follow love’s pull like a siren’s refrain
Who could foresee our souls would interlace?
That our loneliness could so swiftly be replaced
With a love to stand the test of time and space
A destiny written in the stars to be embraced  
We were two wayward ships, tossed about
Now together, we will never doubt
This is a love to sing and shout
A passion fierce, never to be put out
For our dream has shown what is real
A love that lets our true spirits peel

What wondrous alchemy brought you to me?
Did fate ordain this was meant to be?
Across oceans of stars crossed just to see
The one who was there all along, waiting to be
The keeper of the key that unlocks my heart
The missing piece I needed right from the start
With you here, I'll never be apart
From the sublime bliss that sets my soul apart
You fill me with reasons to dance and sing
A wellspring of joy you selflessly bring
No more searching for anything
Your love makes me feel I have everything
This dream reveals that we're written in the stars
A celestial map that nothing mars
True love rising beyond earthly bars
Transporting us to realms beyond Mars  

Who knew that I could feel like this?
Being with you is heavenly bliss
Your kiss sends me into rapturous abyss
Beyond contentment, beyond any wish
You see me like no other can
Understand me like no other man
Take my hand and join me in this wonderland
Where reality and fantasy grandly expand
The boundaries of space and time recede away
The universe rejoices at our play
Dancing in the nocturnal fey
Everything is different in the light of day
But this dream, this vision pulls me in
To sacred depths where our souls commune
Beyond the rational, beyond the keen
To know love's greatest gift: You are mine, I am yours

Have I found the missing piece I sought?
Is this the love the poets vainly fought
To immortalize in verse and thought?
The sublime peak their words only caught
A glimpse of, while we now boldly climb
Up love's towering, treacherous incline
Towards its apex crystalline
Where we bask in its warmth divine
All I know is when I'm with you
I'm everything I dreamt I'd be  
And more - I'm born anew
When you whisper "forever" to me
This dream we share guides me to see
Our love was fated to be

You make me believe in destiny
And trust the stars' celestial tracing
Knowing somethings are just meant to be
Beyond our control, set in place since time's birthing
We were destined before we ever met
Twin flames inscribed in the firmament
To find each other and thus be set
Free from life's discontentments
With you I have found my home at last
In your arms I need no fortress or bastion
For your love shall eternally last
Beyond all earthly bonds or worldly passion
You are the harbor I sailed oceans to find
The mirror to reflect my soul refined
The cure for which my spirit pined
The one to quell my restless mind

This waking dream, where our hearts entwine
Illuminates a love so truly divine
Beyond lusts that fade in time
Ours is a bond transcendent, ever to shine
 
My voyaging heart, so long journeyed and roamed
Through endless nights, lost and alone
Has found its safe shoreline in your arms, my home
At last I feel completely known
Seen, understood, embraced and adored
As I've never felt before
With you I need not wander anymore
Your love's all I'll ever implore
The burdens of my spirit you relieve
You see my shadows and still believe
Your light helps me to perceive
New horizons to reach and leave
Behind the pain of empty yesterdays
As your love lights up all my ways
 
What magic brought us together this way?
Did angels conspire to guide our steps?
Was it written in our stars that one day
We'd find each other and all would connect?  
That our weary hearts could finally rest
When you laid your head upon my chest
Hearing the beat, knowing this was best
The missing piece we'd each obsessed and stressed
All the nights I gazed up and prayed
For one like you to come my way
Now here in my arms you stayed
And love lit up all that was grey
This dream reminds me again what's real
Not what I want, but what I need
Is this love I know we both feel
For my heart, yours is all that it needs

Have the fates finally set me free?
Cut the chains of my gravity
So I can float like a feather on the sea
Carried wherever love guides you and me
No more lost wandering for this sparrow
Now together we face each tomorrow
Heart, you need not follow paths hollow
Her love's all the light you need to borrow
To illuminate the way to meaning
Beyond society's ruthless gleaning
Trap us in its machine of being
But you lift me out, help me see clearly
That love writes our true destiny
Not what others expect or society

Dancing with you I feel infinity
Spinning through stars, waltzing with the galaxy
Caught up in love's sweet intensity
Swept away in this heavenly reverie
Your arms around me like a symphony
Your kisses notes in our love's sonata spree
Each moment a new stanza in our story
Written before we came into history  
Now boldly we dare to dream it alive
And feel its current as it flows and dives
Into our veins, electric and thriving
This love we will forever be surviving
In waking life as in dreams subsiding
For as long as stars are colliding
Our love was destined for providing
A haven where our spirits find hiding.

Is this illusion or reality?
Dream or waking, you consuming me
With a longing past all possibility  
Of being apart or solitary
I once built walls to keep out pain
Now with you, no need to abstain  
From feeling what makes me sane  
From letting everything flow unrestrained  
The cold rational melts away
I'm intoxicated in every way
Yet I've never felt so astray  
Lost forever in your eyes as I lay
Against your chest this endless night
Hearing your heartbeat's rhythm right
Knowing here is where I belong tight  
In your arms I'm healed; I'm right.

This vision pulls me beyond the real
To a place where only love is tangible
Where the depths of our bond is tangible
Beyond the grasp of time or any chronicle
Here, we are pure presence
Floating through veils of quintessence
Where only love makes sense  
As the essential human experience
To love and be loved as we do
Is to finally feel our spirits true
Beyond ego, beyond worldly ado
Just soul to soul, me and you
No more hiding, no more fear
Everything is lucid, crystal clear
For what matters is right here
In your eyes, where I disappear  

Tonight we waltz on air it seems
Skating on starlight's shimmering beams
Love lifts us beyond daylight's regimes
Into sublime realms of dreams  
Where moonbeams strum celestial strings
As we float on midnight's wings
Far from earth and its endless stings
Here, only rapture love brings
In your eyes I behold eternity  
Twin mirrors to infinity
Inside, our true reality  
Love's all that's left, just you and me
Come, let's dance here forever free
Where none can keep us from destiny
Our dream sculpted by divinity  
For this moment of you and me

Love, do you feel this magic too?
This sense we're right where we're meant to be
Everything I am was meant for you
And you were destined only for me
Across oceans of stars we were drawn
Through endless nights, towards love's new dawn
Every loss and heartbreak foregone
The journey behind, our future shone
Now together we fear no darkness
Your hand in mine is my heart's harness
Guiding us through love's fragrant blossoms
Beyond the reach of hatred's sharp harms
In your eyes I see paradise awaits
Our dream reminds - no need to wait  
Just surrender; don't hesitate
Into love's waters, simply wade

I never knew I had this in me
This capacity to love so deeply, truly
With you I'm unleashed, totally free
To feel, to flow, to give everything that is purely  
The essence of me without armor or art  
Just an open heart pressed against your heart
Feeling your preciousness in every part
Knowing together we'll never part
For your love fits me like a key
Unlocking what wants to break free
From the depths of me endlessly
Revealing all I long to be
Love has set us on this odyssey
To discover our deepest humanity
And take hold of our shared destiny

This night feels eternal, just you and I
Nothing lacking, nothing awry
All that matters is captured in your eyes
Reflecting the moon, the stars and I
No more blurred lines or boundaries keeping us confined
In your arms, my world undefined
I'm worshipping at your sacred shrine
Divinity revealed, ecstasy enshrined
Your kiss awakens my spirit anew
No more walking, now I purely dance
The music you make just by being you
Delivers me to love's entrance
In your eyes I behold heaven's map
Our dream the journey and cue
Leading us into sacred lands where few
Ever boldly dare to explore or pursue
Yet here we are, walking through

I don't know how, but you are the cure
For which my soul has always pined for sure
In your eyes I am still and demure
Healed by a love pristine and pure
My restless mind and heart settle
Relinquishing worry, releasing the nettle
Of tension that kept me from the pedal
Of flowing free down love's channel
Your currents carry me, I float suspended
Soothed and centered, perfectly upended
From my moorings, dramatically contended
To love and be loved, to ascend into
A higher state of mind, heart aligned
With my soul's yearning finally defined
No more walking the line, now I'm entwined
With you, no need to realign
