I’ve been asleep in the face of the deep

with insomnia until this Perseus finally met his Andromeda

One day our names will be written as constellations

You brought light to a cold black void like when the universe awakened

Let there be light like a baby seeing its first sight

I used to be a seed That had to die under soil that looks like a Van Gogh kind of night

Grains of solar systems A sunny and hopeful vision,

You are my destiny You and I are fate There’s Galaxies beyond the entry of your flesh gates

Exploring the furthest reaches to advanced civilizations because we were patient While we were in the desert we always saw the oasis

I see my reflection in you

She conceives life You’re fruitful,

you’re abundant

My eternal wife

Watchman on the wall for each other We are the warrior and the soldier Love outlasting stars turning into Supernovas.
