At 8.10 you plant a kiss on my cheek,
Knowing fully well that with me your
Love is eternal; in my universal heart
You swim, gaily as a man who has just
Found succour and you open a tin can
Of liquorice and vow to wow me with
Your sweetness and I am floored, bills
Skipped, I sink into your love-making,
Making merry, merry my name, I love,
I seek, I see as a flower that first blossoms
Never to be nipped, in Paradise; in my paradisic
Fantasy I sleep deep and fall into your
Vast universal heart. You swim in me
And I swim in you and together we create
Symphonies; there's no such thing as sacrifice for us, no such thing as suffering;
No such thing as paying bills; prosperity surrounds us, we bathe in it, we swim
About in delight! In each other, you in me,
Me in you: one with the ocean for all eternity!
Our eternal love shrouds any pain and it
Rains reindeers and chimes and harps
As sweet men come calling from Bethelem!
