My Chamber Is Open
Thou art my beloved, so faithful and true..
Through time immemorial, your love is my due.
In continuous motion, look thou on me..
And keep all my sanity, for in you I am free.
In all that I seek, I remember thy wine..
To drink from my lips, with you as I dine.
My chamber is open, so enter my love..
Dress me with roses, and peace,
gentle dove.
Until the day break, and the shadows disappear..
I will seek all my fortune, so rich and so fair.
Sweet is your voice, as your words touch my soul..
The apple in the orchard, and the pearl in my world.
How fragrant is your sweetness, how precious is your gold..
Adorned around my neck, like secrets kept untold.
Altogether lovely, washer of my milk..
This yearning deep within me, is finer than pure silk.
Like droplets of sunrise, my gladness is paved..
To go beyond the mountain, for in you I am saved.
Shorn above the waters, your eyes search for mine..
Thou art so beautiful, my love, I am thine.
