When two suns are united
emotions touch the light,
reintensify each other,
tear through cruel bonds of night
The planets all around us
feel the heat we generate
They stare because they sense it's rare
two suns choose to mate

Generous sun, where are you from?
Was your universe as cold as mine?
Were you waiting for me an eternity,
consumed by dreams unkind?
Did you scan the stars
for this mate of flame?
Was purpose shrinking in your core?
Did you know your light
would travel to me,
and return as a soul to adore?

Oh brilliant sun, let's show a few worlds
what passionate hearts can do
We shall shine and sense the force of love 
enlighten points of view
Our intensity,
our gravity,
responds with romantic spin
We have balanced below
with what's up above,
two suns burning within


c) C. Butler 1994
