"I never saw his glimpse more than once at a time. That one look was always enough to make my heart leap into my throat, though. I knew he was not perfect, how could he be? But still, his grapevine hair, almost lighter than his skin, and those lips, ragged, but still the most delicate shade of pink, curled around his ever-burning cigarette, whose smoke reflected in his deep, clear, dark eyes... It all had an air of age unfitting to his cherubic smile and his childish voice. He only ever looked at me very briefly, even when we spoke. I don't know if we could have become friends, and there still sits in me something that doesn't want to find out."

I Might Have Loved Him
Softly whispering, Like smoke she drifts away Transformed By words you might have heard But never really listened to...

Like Smoke
Take me out for coffee;          I'll ask for tea, instead.    I'll burn my tongue      On phantom blackberries While I try to find             A way to say         'I love you'

Tea, Instead
ragged turquoise hair d r i p s d o w n into glistening eyes which no one can tell whatever precious stones lie beneath their wanting look

Precious Stones
His moods are made of earth, Silent laughter bounds through him Like lithe and limber creatures, Creeping, crawling, Slithering through woods, Then breaking into the electric chase For playful eyes, Staring with a wanting gaze Through deep, dark pools Of liquid love.
