Can someone please help me? I am trying to make a Valentine's card in Klingon ... for someone who speaks it, but I don't.

I'm looking for something clever, but that would also translate. All i've been able to come across is the word for "my beloved."

Anything fun that would translate like:

You are the center of my galaxy.

My heart beats for you (since i know the heart seems to stand in for love in Klingon)

I'd like to beam you into my bed.

Thanks much!

SoHvaD tIqwIj vI'ang I show you my heart.

QongDaqwIjDaq vIjol 'e' vIneH.

And, of course, there's always this old standby.

That would have to be:
QongDaqwIjDaq qajol 'e' vIneH.
qajol I beam you (instead of I beam he,she, it)

Great phrase, though!

In order to succeed, you must enjoy eating poison!

Looks awesome; love the female Klingon!

I think the standard way to write this would in fact have been QongDaqwIjDaq qajol vIneH., as neH constructions don't require 'e'.  I don't think it's necessarily incorrect, though.
