Fulminata Poem by Joseph Oliver

My heart tears with the thunder of love,
Your beauty is greater than that of the angels of above,
My very being is torn asunder by lightning pure and true,
My heart is "Fulminata", armed with lightning and given only to you!

If armies were to stand between us both would I fight?
Of course I would, I would even give up my sight!
You are my God and my one true love,
You are my redemption, as sacred as a dove!
My very being is torn asunder by lightning pure and true,
My heart is "Fulminata", armed with lightning and given only to you!

If you were to be at the very end of the world, would I not go?
Of course I would! I would even the seeds of pain sow!
You are my lovely, lovely Prince of Peace,
Without you my life would be a complete and utter mess!
My very being is torn asunder by lightning pure and true,
My heart is "Fulminata", armed with lightning and given only to you!
