Strange Ectasy

I'm oddly joyful, even without sleep
When you are near, despite all other pain;
I can forget the gnawing doubts that creep
Into my own, if in no other, brain.
When with you nothing seems fully amiss
No matter how bad it might first appear,
And nothing can be unsolved past your kiss:
No worry, no dismay, no care, no fear.
I am at peace, but only when with you,
A calm spot in the middle ocean's roar;
I'm not quite certain what it is you do,
But I'd be happy if you did it more.
So stay by me. Together we defy
The world; we'll simply watch it wander by.
