I promise to make you more alive
than you have ever been
and take you on a journey
to the centre of your soul.
I’ll take you places, show you sights
that you have never seen,
and pleasure you with feelings
that love alone beholds.
From Timbuktoo to Samarkand,
I’ll love you under desert skies
as we traverse the ancient
trans-Saharan trading route,
and in the courtyards of
a dozen caravansarais,
the moon will light our pleasures
as we share forbidden fruit.
More precious than the mystic cloves
from ancient Zanzibar,
the romance of the Silk Road
or the search for Shangri-La,
we’ll find the love that binds us
and the mystery between …
and I will make you more alive
than you have ever been.
