I’m as handsome as the first snowflakes along the Rhein
You’re as fertile as silt flooding the banks of the Nile
I am so much more than man, I’m one of a kind
Fucking give me your pain and watch me smile

I swam the Amazon just to get with you
Filtered the Chao Phraya just to prove that I was true
Hahaha, for you I run hotter than Shanay Timpiska
I can take the Indirirka and put it into a hot water bottle

I can take the Rumichaca and slow love down to a trot
At the Everglades pace I’ll enter both your mind and heart
From figure eights on the Neretva to falling through the Congo
Love emerging from submersion on the banks of Limpopo

Still as isolated as Yarlung Tsangpa, love now has to bring it on
Yes true love populates like the Ganges and flows along
Thick as the Missouri or Mississippi mixed but identified
A million Broken Rivers flowing into Lake Eyre for every lie

But my love for you flows as pure as the Thames saying your name
It can’t identify with the Teays that tries to hide it’s shame
Unlike the Tonie Sap, I don’t reverse and play games
With the force of the Amazon and Nile combine I can power through pain

A confluence like the Triveni Sangam, both of our paths becoming one
Like Niagara cascading the falls, plunging yet we’re undone
Love as old as when Finke sprung, but like Brahmaputra forever young
This entire flow of love originated with a raindrop upon my tongue

    1. You’re the King of Darkness who has a soft underbelly. This is beautiful, Me.

      If everyone not only imagined a world in love but lived life as if in love? This planet would be exquisite.
