Listen Beloved, listen, my life I now impart,
Listen Beloved, listen, my life, a beating heart.
I am the form, Beloved, you, my looking glass,
I am your fragrance, you, my sandalwood mass.
Listen, my Love, listen, our union’s a start,
You are the temple where my dreams reside,
Your love, my worship, my heart open wide.
In your dear feet, I build a heaven’s grace,
You are my second god, my sacred space.
Body, mind, and life, all to you I confide,
Without you, what companion have I to embrace?
Listen, my Love, listen, our union’s embrace,
Without you, I am but half, incomplete,
You are the other half, my love so sweet.
As long as breath remains within my frame,
I’ll never leave your side, I’ll call your name.
You are the ocean, I, the flowing stream,
Our companionship, through lives, we’ll keep.
Listen, my Love, listen, our union’s dream.
From our sweet, sweet meeting,
Oh from our sweet, sweet meeting,
A tiny bloom will rise,
With its coming, dearest,
We will find another life,
We will play with it together,
The empty courtyard will be filled,
Listen, my Love, listen,
Our union’s a plea,
My life I give to thee.
