Thrones of Love

Larry Covington

Thrones of Love

 Tonight will be the time
 For friends to become lovers
 I've been dreaming of your voice
 Let's meet at the spot where we first met
 We'll pull apart the veils closed to public eyes.

 No fear for the showing
 The purity of our essence exposed
 A blending joy we'll find as we look upon
 The peace we find in each other's eyes, exposed
 Joys of love and lust filling the emptiness felt.

 Companion of my world
 Friend, whose support makes it good,
 We'll climb above the loneliness below
 For we will ascend to the stairs of passion's throne
 Finding the fulfillment reserved for the saints of Love.
