Listen to Sacred Hearts Embrace by Richard Charles Stevens (Kissing Suite)

Listen to Goodbye Kiss by Fracture Design

O, the joy
The rapture
.
Found my sacred heart
Upon the fragrant steps of chance
Open arms
Awakened smile
Bereft of fret
Undressed of trial
Posed upon sweet lips that taste befittingly like home
Nesting flawless essence as the light her face enthrones
.
Farther than the moonbeam skies
I watch her in the steep of flight
Ineffable technique applied
To heavens blessed of equal height
Every star she glances
I make ardent dash to capture
Marvelling at boundless frame and decorated stature
.
(Seen)
O, the joy
The rapture
(Seen)
Rapture
.
O, the joy
The rapture of a love of love exceeding
Evidently every bit as needful thing as breathing
Requisite for sacred heart
Discredited of beating
Evidence against conception
Everything is fleeting
Weaving braid through danger days
Engineering change of phase
Commandeering major veins
Mainstay of sanguine embrace
(Seen)
O, the joy
The rapture of a love of love exceeding
Stretched across the bounds of time and space
(Stretched across the bounds of time and space)
.
Oft alleged to fall away
Before her philharmonic gaze
Swimming in harmonic waves
Spinning the tectonic plates
This symphony in symmetry to mystical divinity
Soul to soul
I grow into the depths of her infinity
Dressing chance in coat of arms bespoke of probability
Nevermore possessed of chronic haze
(Seen)
.
Found my sacred heart
In every contour of her blessèd face
Long since faded smile reclaimed
Every vacant mile engaged
Farther than the moonbeam skies
To lips of parch
Pink lemonade
Underneath the marble arch
Feel charmed to start the serenade
Upon the fragrant steps of chance
In harmony enclaved
Two sacred hearts
Of one advance became
(Came)
.
