The Rung



Let me sing you a song

With beats from my heart

And the rhythms from my eyes

Awesome lyrics of my feelings

 

Let me send you emissaries

Of the glacial grandeur

Mirroring the intense of fire

Burning in me, so fiercely.

 

Let me reach into the crust

Of your sacred powerhouse

With the tenderness of my crush

 

Let me brew you a wine

With the finest blend of wheat

Let me ignite on your face

The world’s brightest smile

 

Let me be ‘wrong’ for once

Cos the only right side is the left

Where lies your heart

And let me be the rung

That keeps your heart strong
