In The Heart Of The Valley

Miles and miles across the ocean,
I fly like a Majestic Bald Eagle, quenching my thirst for love in this mystical valley where our secret romance turns into a fairy tale.
On the peak of this magnificent valley,
I soar higher and higher in the sky, scattering my wings wider and wider
like an Andean Condor
hunting for my prey to satisfy
the hunger of longing for you,
where your portrait became the
Torch of My Life in that ocean of blood.
Down in this valley,
like a Bearded Vulture,
I shelter this mysterious valley where my claws squabble for your existence.
Oh, my love...
In the heart of this mystic valley
where the river flows like blood
through my veins and
the water is clear as a crystal driving through my body,
I have roamed your gaze.
In the heart of this magic valley,
where the birds sing under the azure sky,
where the butterflies dance through the
garden of flowers,
where the bees flute among
the sweetness of the honeycomb,
I have sketched you on
the canvas of my heart.

In the heart of this magnificent valley,
among the verdant pines and
the gray clouds,
Between the blue sea and the mountain’s height adorned
this island of God,
Between the majestic sun rays gleaming luminously through this valley,
I am dancing in your name.
My love...
With the sound of the ocean tide,
the chanting of the squirrel and the deer,
the light of the shooting stars, the smile of the crescent moon,
I have embraced our romantic fairly tales.
My love
You are the torch of my life...
You are the fire of our freedom
Love me for a million years...
I love you for another million years...

The image of the valley and the beautiful Norwegian nature is a reference to the peace of the world in which each one deserves to live.
The majestic Bald Eagle, Andean Condor, Bearded Vulture is a reference to the human power.
"Torch of My Life in that ocean of blood and “I am dancing in your name”.
Designates men who embrace their families and homeland into their hearts on the battlefield.
“Thank you for my husband as the torch of my life.”

Warren "Storyteller" Brown thank you
Thanks to everybody for taking their time for reading this poem
