if my love for you
is not loud enough

make it known
for i will make

even my whispers
shake the Earth

i do know that i love you!
why would you ever question that?

did you not see me etching
your name on the moon?

did the ground not erupt hard enough
when i declared my love to the world?

you, with the weary eyes
and listless soul —
won’t you stay a while?

your uneasiness
has mired your senses.
come, lay on my lap.

rest well, my darling.
you are safe and sound,
i will make sure of it.

singing you to sleep
is the greatest privilege

to have someone dear
become witness to my music

an audience of one —
the only applause i need

a lovely sight;
may I peruse
your soul forever?

I CANNOT LOVE IN SILENCE
THE WORLD’S EARS MUST RING
FROM MY PROFESSION

I HAVE GONE MAD FOR YOU
I AM TOO FAR GONE
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU

how cruel, the fleeting time passed
our days together felt like mere seconds

but you have etched your name
into my heart, and i am now home
