I don't remember, any more, / The exact shape of your hands / As I held them in mine,

Every Day You Play....
Every day you play with the light of the universe. / Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water, / You are more than this white head that I hold tightly

I know why the caged bird sings
A free bird leaps on the back / Of the wind and floats downstream / Till the current ends and dips his wing

What Can Your Idol Do?
#*Can it love you like God loves you, with a love that is better than life? / Can it connect you to eternal beauty? Can it save you? Can it redeem you? / Can it lift you out of the miry pit? Can it make you clean enough to finally feel acceptable?

The Expectations of You
I find it strange that when I look into your eyes I'm not met with an endless starry sky. The world around me doesn't freeze or turn monochrome around everyone but you. I don't see an endless sea or visions of a setting sun, no matter my determination. So how do I know it is love if it isn't as the words I've heard all my life describe? / Yet my heart still drops when you walk into the room, even when your focus is a place far off. People say it's like a flutter but this is far too heavy to use such a light word to describe such a feeling. It's painful, but I know it isn't something ominous or bad because it feels right. How do I know it is love if none if my words describe it right as they should? / I get it every time our eyes meet or you tilt your head and smile with your head in the clouds. I get it when you laugh to yourself or say something hardly above a whisper. When you focus so hard you ***** up and let out that silly sigh of aggravation and I feel such deep affection. Yet is it alright for me to say what I feel is love when I can't even tell myself what love is?

Saddest Poem
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. / Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars, / and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."
