My Love, My Sweet, My Everything

(Poetry to Music Project – performed to Pirates of the Caribbean by Hans Zimmer)

Come, my love
On a magical adventure
Through the salty blue seas of wonder
To a mystical place
Where your gentle heart will want to be

I will show you
The cascading waterfall of life
Where you shall be
Forever young
Where gleaming fire flies
Shall light your eyes
Like the starry moonlit sky

There will be diamonds, pearls, emeralds
As precious as the purest silk
Of the forest lands

The Dragons of Poseidon
Shall bow at our feet
The Phoenix of Fire
Shall protect us
From the shadowy forces of evil

Lightning will flash
The wisest Narwhales of the seven seas
Shall be our guide
Our vessel shall be made
From the strongest wood
Of the Southern Hemisphere

My precious
I will protect you
With sword and shield
No living creature shall harm you
On our island
Our island
Come, say you will

You know I love you
Why can you not love me
The Earth’s core holds no fear for me
I will find you wherever you are
And bring you back

Why my love?
Don’t leave me now
Your heart is so far away
Yet you feel so close –
Tell me you love me
Tell me now

What can I do
I will do anything
Anything
Come, my love
My sweet
My everything.
