my kind

You are all that I wish for –
the essence of love,
the star in the sky
I see first when it’s night.

You’re my sun in the air
above rainclouds in view
that send tears elsewhere
but smile at me while I’m courting

for it’s you that I love.

You keep me warm
when the night’s almost freezing
You keep me cool
when the sunshine is burning

It’s you that I love –
my heart, ever-lasting.

Come close – stay near
my body is yearning
for you on this day –
my kind’s not for turning.
