1) A NEW WORLD
Moving away like the day
To wrap myself with the blanket
of realisation of my worthiness
The sun in my soul
Slowly fades to set for the bright hours
Of my life spent with you
It fades only to rise up once again
With hopes of a better and brighter tomorrow
And the majestic ocean smiles at me
As it creates my stories of wisdom and strength.
Do meet me at the horizon
For you will see the light on it
Shining bright like my soul
Stepping into a new version of me
Waiting for my new world to begin.

2) Empyreal Beauty
You are an art, a masterpiece
A treasure house of all jewels
Your mind is so seductive
Tempting and luring me to crawl into it
Seeking all that is deeply embedded.
How powerful and majestic you are
Not allowing anyone you come across
To steal a piece of your intellect
and give no regards to it.
You are a warrior no one can explain in just mere words
Your curves are the journey you have undertaken
To build a road that leads to a destination of contentment
You are a beauty to be worshipped
To be treated like a Queen outside
To see the fiery magic unfolding inside
the four walls of our slumber castle.
You are my Goddess of Love
To you I surrender all that I have in me
Let me be your devotee
Travelling deep into you
Unraveling the mysterious Woman in you
As you bathe in holy elixir.
