It is lightning in a bottle,

A rainbow in a jar,

The promise of a life,

As Venus and Mars,

Going out for rides

Like two shooting stars

It is a warm embrace with your soft skin,

When I lie awake in the early dawn,

The beating of a heart from deep within,

A voluptuous body where a new life is born

Coming home from work

With arms open wide,

A serendipitous kiss with a telling smile,

And a loving whisper "Let's go for a ride."

Up into the hills,

Sat on a rock,

Watching the sun slowly go down,

As the stars run amok

Whilst we are out on the town.

Holding hands

To the sounds of the night

In faraway lands

Watching the owls

Flap wings and take flight,

The tipp'd cup of the moon

Spills Champagne on ice.

On the slow drive home

Listening to the Beach Boys,

Singing ' God Only Knows

What I'd be without you.'*

*God Only Knows written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher and cited as the greatest love song ever. Take a listen to the Beach Boys below and be inspired.
