Sophisticated creatures such as us
use complex symbols in a specific order
to convey our feelings for one another.
This language is what our kids learn
at an early age in school. In this work,
deep symbols of adoration push out from
the picture plane, encrusted with glue and
shiny pigments. The letters vibrate from colors
inside and outside the cardboard ridges.
My love for him is gritty and intense. +++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are my
King
I am Your bride
Your dearest passion
Is to have me at Your side
Where You can hold me close
You enjoy kissing me.
Faithful to Your vow
Everyone can see
I belong to You
And You belong to me
What I pleasure I have
You enjoy kissing me.
What could you possibly see in this maiden so low?
My life had been dry like a desert, completely alone.
You tell me I'm lovely to look at
And call me your prize (to my surprise)
My heart beats fast with a joy
That is sweeter than wine (for You are mine)
You love me so
You enjoy kissing me.
Oh, the intimacy,
You enjoy kissing me.
You are fascinated
By our romance
In the presence of my King
You want to see me dance
You are excited
You enjoy kissing me
You are my Delight
I will bear Your name
There will be no other
My life has been changed
In your company
You enjoy kissing me.
A garden, a flower, a tower of David am I
A treasure, a banquet, and peace never ending are mine.
You gaze on me with eyes
As deep as the ocean in motion
Your arms are a shelter of rock
In which I hide in, I'm finding
You love me so
You enjoy kissing me
Oh, the intimacy
You enjoy kissing me.
Bridal Song
Karl Marxhausen, 1991
