Happy Second Anniversary to Us
To my husband, shiefox, on our second wedding anniversary:
Being a poet and writer, I would write you love poetry until the skies exploded and the sun burnt out... but unfortunately our bodies don't live that long. Songs -- and poems -- however, do live forever, and for right now until I can find my own words, I dedicate a few love songs from Mike Scott And The Waterboys, because gods know that band had enough of a hand in getting us here. And they write these better anyway.
I love you eternally.
BORN TO BE TOGETHER
I want to star in your life
and on the stage of your dreams
in your beginning and your end
and every place between
to open the door of your secret soul
steal in and stay forever
the streets of your heart are laid with gold
and we were born to be together
Let's build a ship and set sail
through seas of love we'll go
to unknown lands and hidden bays
and when there's no wind I'll blow
and when the waves get high and the broadsides fly
I will be your port in stormy weather
I'll rock your bow and show you how
we were born to be together
EVERY BREATH IS YOURS
every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours
every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours i give myself to you, beloved
the self that i thought i was
i give myself to you, beloved
the self that was mystified and lost
every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours
every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours
who is it moves in me, beloved?
whose hands and feet are these?
who is it moves in me, beloved?
whose heart beats? who breathes?
every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours
every breath is yours, beloved
HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU ?
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
and longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
and longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as you father told you
As long as you are
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live to you
However long you say
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
and longer if I may
