The Beautiful Monster Called Love

THE BEAUTIFUL MONSTER CALLED LOVE

You are the mystery unknown

Fiercer than the blazing sun

Tender as the morning dew

Sustaining the undying passion of the earth

Enshrouding her blossoms 

in the eternal silence of the grave

You are the heaven I dearly seek

And the hell I truly loathe

The gem of life for all

And the bane of death for us

Give me your wings to fly

Will it be through the starry sky 

Or over the blazing valley of the Great Beyond?

Goddess, let me in your royal ferry

Will you sail to the sea

Or will it be over the flood of my hurtful tears?

You are the grandest honor known

And the cruelest curse ever lived

All hail the beautiful monster called LOVE

I have tossed you in the air of doubt

Please fall on your brighter side

And leave the other 

for the oblong peace of the sea
