Hold Up the Sky
You’re the magic that holds up the stars in the sky,
the brilliance of my muse without fear nor regret.
You are my absolute best, and they all ask me why,
“for you have given me a marriage I shan’t forget.”
If I perished today I wouldn’t die full of pain’s fret-
You came to me when I didn't know how to fly.
You’re the love that the sky holds up in this life.
For we are the fairytale the whole world envies.
I am so glad to be your loyal and adoring wife,
I can feel your heartbeat as I fall onto my knees.
I sense your love through the wind in the trees-
You came to me when anguish cut like a knife.
You’re the fire the sky holds up for the moonbeams,
for our nocturnal passion brings me such pleasure.
I used to embrace this kind of love in my dreams,
you know…the kind that carries on without measure.
You are my one and only lucky golden treasure-
You came to me when my life was tearing at its seams.
You’re the magic that holds up the stars in the sky,
like a magnet with gravitation force devoid of fear.
Sharing a rare bond, and people always ask me why…
“for I am complete whenever you, my love, are near”.
I chose: "Hold Up the Sky"
