Within this bed (to try an egg)
To melt our differences
A leap of faith
This fiery love
Dissolves the edge
Creates a bridge
A leap of faith
It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create (divide)
A dreamy (creamy) bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves, to exist
Hangover after the party
