It seems I should build a cathedral
To properly express
My love to you
With flying buttresses
And vaulted ceilings
And stained glass windows
And a decor of silver and gold and gems
And exotic stones
And rare woods
With spires and statues and paintings
And gargoyles
(Because a cathedral is not a cathedral without gargoyles)
And hidden staircases leading to the sky
And elaborate rooms without entrance or exit
And catacombs
(Because a cathedral is not a cathedral without catacombs)
It would take centuries to build your cathedral
And it would last forever
And the world would marvel over it
But I’m getting carried away now
And I digress...
It seems I should build a cathedral
To properly express
My love to you
But I’m afraid
All I have to offer
Is the simple chapel
Of my heart
