| Wounds We Inflict Today Innocence mislaid by youth; freedom waylaid by thinking adult; passion lost in a man's afternoon; but the worst of all scars is from the wounds we inflict today. |

| Do You Ever? I hunger and wonder was it ever meant to be for me to be immersed in your silky satin sea or wander bare beaches with thoughts of missing thee to hunger and wonder do you ever think of me? |

Wooden Cups Drink long and deep the quenching brew not offered for your lips to choose. For you are but the wooden cups, and Love has chosen you |
| Symbols Take these symbols from my soul's estate and smear them on your body. They wreak in the air like feral musk this hot Summer's day. Our treaty rends petals of flowering beauty as irises dilate forever. Flutter faint thunder; in tumult succumb to release the rain. |
| Wellspring Of My Heart A heart is the wellspring of love and song and art; The bed of peace and turmoil where things that matter start. While these red rivers trickle long days we are apart, the smile I once saw in your eye is the wellspring of my heart. |
 |
| Love's Shadow The shadow of your loverly dream is the dwelling of my vanquished desire. |
| The Goddess of Dreams Wet these blistered lips and drown this flaming breast o rapture of my stifled heart, for thou art the Goddess of Dreams. |

| Nava Belle Who can look into your eyes and not be lost to rhem forever? They sing of the glow in Heaven and your smile is the stage where they dance like visions of Maypole Maidens, though not for me, dear Nava Belle. |

| Tuna Fish Mind Dear sweetheart fine, I proved I was the smartest, most tasteful kind when I got snared in your velvet twine. So how could you abandon such a tastey catch, oh kitty mine? It's like all those conundrums in my tuna fish mind that don't rhyme but grind. |
 |
| Through Endless Fall Through endless fall eyelash flutters against lips of the angel who cradles me on her whispered song in the silent darkness so the dream of you remains serene. |
| Dry Desert Reborn Having offered the last drop of cool water from my little oasis, I embrace rebirth as a dry desert, while the memory of your smile cloaks me in magic. |

Joangel A mist follows Joangel, like after the rain. Sometimes a faint glow can be seen in strands of her hair when the air gently stirs. Her earrings send lights up the walls in the mornings and late afternoons. Modesty compels her to hide her wings, but her elegant clumsiness betrays her. Her smile is like the darting shadows of eventide seeking repose. Her porcelain hands adorn everything they touch. When she speaks the song she murmurs is unforgettable, and haunts the ear for days. Her eyes behold souls in their stark nakedness, for she is sent from Heaven on a mission mysterious. Only to mortals, so she has made me eternal in every hue of blue. |
| The Moment Forever What is immortal in us is the part that endures, and if that portion is love restless even in sunlight which goes not quietly to sleep, because to its own life it clings, and things incomprehensible to Earthlings, we live in the moment forever. |
