day love life
write poetry poems
man long good
eyes human heart
word best poet
body better days
place read mind
years mine night
god soul poets

moment free
real deep knowing great
three children inside
hand longer bed

high wrote dreams
people future tho
fresh smile perfect
till open sky
room thought written
death leave quiet
voice nat coffee
share sure question
late street coming
earth
hope
