Tyler R. Martin
To find heaven in a bedroom
Of a building North of here,
To have true love lie beside you
And to whisper in her ear:
“You are evidence of heaven,
Even if we live in hell,
Even if there’s greener grasses
It’s in these fires I shall dwell.
‘Cause I see you even from a distance,
A pure blue spark amongst the dark,
Lovely blue eyes forever pierce me
And have left a scorching mark.
And so your warmth I’ll follow blindly,
Through the winters and the rain,
Or cross warm and sandy beaches,
And for me, I pray you’d do the same.”
So gaze at me in utter silence,
As I whisper words to you,
A smile says that you still love me
And believe every word is true.
To find heaven in a bedroom
Of a building, brick and stone,
Whether boiling heat or frigid storm,
With you, I’ll forever feel at home.
