Eyes often close without ever blinking
Hearts bleed though encased they are inside
In the novelty of love,
The eyes long always for more to see,
The heart beats faster and opens to passion.
In the beginning,
There would be comments on the sight of me,
Comparisons to the stars, or dusk in the summer
Comments that would be modestly declined -
And now I must wonder
When those sweet comparisons ceased,
When you started to give up trying to convince me
How many times it took
For you to grow tired of calling me beautiful
So that I could ever deny it.
          What you never knew is that I wanted to believe it
          And when I finally began to
          Was when you gave up reminding me
          Because I always fought back against you.
I miss the days in the beginning.
But I always was the best at arguing.

It is one of those nights
When I can only stare out the window
at the yellow crescent moon
As my thoughts rage.
But the moon is fuzzy because my
eyes aren't perfect
And finally the clouds obscure it
completely
So that I just give up
And make another attempt to sleep.

A path has led me to a wall,
Overgrown with moss
Barely there, beyond the vines
And as I stare at it, 
I realize that there is no door,
No rusted lock with a missing key
No secret garden beyond the crumbling brick
Short of climbing,
No way to see past the barrier.
And knowing that a mystery exists
That I cannot decipher
Is enough to spark my imagination
And create a world, unattainable,
Which provides all of my deepest wishes.
Sighing, because I know it is not real,
I turn from the wall
And realize, as I trace my footsteps back
That all of my wishes
Have already come true.

Our love is a tranquil song
Rising and falling in a sweet melody
The soft notes enfolding us
A slow dance
Turning, turning
A never-ending circle
The music of my dreams
This rhythm beats inside us
Our hearts keeping time
Let the music play on
