IN A LAND FAR AWAY...STANDS A STRUCTURE OF WHITE SATINEY MARBLE. A TRIBUTE BY ONE MAN, FOR HIS GREATEST LOVE! IT'S EXQUISITE DESIGN, IT'S ALLURING SHAPE IS UNSURPASSED IN IT'S BEAUTY. IT DAZZLES THE EYES, IN THE NOONDAY SUN, IT SHIMMERS IN SILVERY MOON LIGHT, ITS MAGIC, IS EVER UNFOLDING TO THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. ITS BEAUTY IS TIMELESS AND AGELESS,AS WAS INTENDED. THE SPARKLING "REFLECTION POOL" QUITES THE SPIRIT AND BY DAY, BIRDS FLY AND SING THROUGH SUNLIT AIR, BY NIGHT, STARS ADD THEIR MAJESTY TO THE WATERS. THIS MONUMENT TO LOVE CAPTURES ALL MINDS WHO BEHOLD IT, FOR LOVE SPEAKS FORTH FROM THIS PLACE AND SAYS:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  * * * *

OH MY LOVE, FOR I SO LOVE YOU,

THAT I DESIRE THE WORLD TO KNOW

THAT THROUGH ALL TIME AND THROUGH ALL AGES LET IT BE SEEN,

THAT ONE MANS HEART WAS SO ENCHANTED BY HIS BELOVED,

THAT

A WAY MUST BE SOUGHT TO EXPRESS THAT LOVE,

OUT INTO THIS WORLD

LET THE WORLD SEE WHAT LOVE FEELS LIKE,

TO KNOW THE RAPTURE

OF A BELOVED SUCH AS YOU.

YOUR LOVE ADDS MEANING TO MY LIFE,

YOUR KISSES TAKE ME TO THE STARS,

YOUR LIPS ARE AS HONEY,

YOUR ARMS PERFUMED WITH JASMINE,

HOLD ME CLOSE AS NIGHT FALLS,

AND NIGHTINGALES SING THEIR LOVELY SONG TO US,

AS WE DELIGHT

IN EACH OTHERS EMBRACE AND SHARE OUR LOVE,

ONE WITH THE OTHER,

GIVING PLEASURES ALMOST TOO RAPTUROUS TO ENDURE.

YOUR FINGERS TRACE AN INTRICATE MOSAIC OVER MY FACE,

MY CHEST,MY

STOMACH, CAUSING TREMORS TO RIPPLE THRU MY BODY.

YOU SMILE THAT SLY

SMILE, KNOWING,

WHAT THRILLS YOU BRING TO ME, MY DEAREST.

YOUR

LIPS DRAW CLOSE, CLOSER, CLOSER...

YOU ENVELOPE MY BEING WITH

EXQUISTE PLEASURE. IN THE END,

I AM SHAKEN, MY LEGS CAN NOT

MOVE, AND I LIE THERE,

ALMOST IN A FAINT OF TORTUROUS DELIGHT.

YOU GLIDE IN GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS ACROSS

THE MARBLED FLOOR TO BRING ME

POMEGRANATES DRIPPING WITH RED ELIXIR,

TO COOL MY BURNING LIPS.

WAS THERE EVER SUCH A ONE AS YOU,

WHOSE ONLY DELIGHT, WAS TO GIVE

ME JOY? ALL MEN WOULD ENVY ME,

IF THEY BUT KNEW THE LOVE YOU BRING

TO MY HEART.

MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH MEMORIES OF YOUR FACE,

SMILING

WITH ANTICIPATION UPON MY RETURN TO YOUR SIDE AT DAYS END.

WITH YOU,

MY DEAREST,

I CAN FORGET THE DAYS STRIFE AND LAY MY HEAD UPON YOUR

BREAST AND FEEL NOTHING BUT LOVE.

FOR I HEAR YOUR HEART BEAT AND IT

SPEAKS MY NAME!

MY HEART JUMPS TO HEAR FLASHES OF YOUR VOICE AND

OUR SOULS ARE LOCKED INTO ONE BEING,

AS IF MELTED TOGETHER BY THE BURNING

HEAT OF THE SUN..TWO SOULS, BECOMING ONE.

YOU CALL IT DESTINY,

KISMET AND FATE, BUT ALL I KNOW,

SWEET LOVE, WHEN I AM

WITH YOU... I AM AT "HEAVEN'S GATE"

I MUST MAKE FOR YOU A TRIBUTE,

TO SHOW FORTH TO THIS WORLD,

MY DEEP LOVE AND DEVOTION TO YOU, AS BEFITTING

THE WONDEROUS LOVE, I HAVE IN MY HEART FOR YOU.

IT IS MY DEEPEST DESIRE

TO DO SO, FOR THEN..

WHAT SHALL BE SEEN BY ALL WHO COME TO THIS SITE,

IS

MY LOVE, SHINEING FORTH AND THE MYSTERY....

THAT IS YOU.

ARISE SWEET LOVE, LET US WATCH THE MOON,

AND WHISPER WORDS OF LOVE TO ONE

ANOTHER AND SEAL OUR LOVE WITH A VOW TO

LOVE ONE ANOTHER FOREVER AND ALWAYS,

FOR WHAT IS LIFE, IF THERE IS NO LOVE AND WHAT

SHALL A PERSON GAIN IN THIS

LIFE, IF THEY NEVER QUENCH THE DEEP INNER

LONGING THAT ONLY LOVE CAN BRING.

LET US DRINK DEEPLY MY LOVE,

FOR LOVE IS ALL THERE IS. NOW AND ALWAYS.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

LET THOSE WHO HAVE KNOW A GREAT LOVE....FEEL THIS TRUTH AND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT,

PRAY FOR ITS REVELATION TO YOU...FOR LOVE IS ALL THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH !!
